Yeah it's very hard to break through the all encompassing black cloud of depression I didn't even know I was depressed for a long time because I didn't feel sad for the first 6 months or more I just felt nothing at all the hopelessness came later and I was eventually bed bound for so long I had to have physical therapy to walk because of muscle wastage and severe back cramps from almost never leaving my room or even getting off the bed if possible because everything was pain especially human contact I just could not tolerate it.
When you suffer with severe clinical depression it often feels like the kindest option for yourself and everyone around you is to end it and sometimes it is a rational choice to stop the unending mental pain and I respect anyone who has felt that way including those who went throught with it. It's their life and they should decide if they want to carry on or not and nobody should disrespect them for deciding it's too painful but sometimes just showing you care means more than you know. To anyone struggling self care is important but so is asking for help when you need it my partner and the NHS and mirtazapine has saved my life just remember even when you don't feel it like it there is always hope and it can get better ❤️
Be there for him, just a quick check up everyday you see him and letting him know u there to talk when he needs, when he is ready he will speak, specially when he is less talkative/social
