Re: 23 year old son
Do his housemates know that he struggles at times?

Re: 23 year old son
That's the depression talking. When you can't see the good - only the bad. When you sink into this deep hole and can't find a way out. You start thinking that nothing is ever good enough and nothing will ever be good again. The negativity takes over @lovemyboys.
It's often a chemical imbalance and a mood stabiliser or anti depressant may kick start a better mind set for him. What do you think are the chances that you can get him back to a doctor?

Re: 23 year old son
I feel like getting him back to his GP might be asking him to cut his left arm off

Re: 23 year old son
Is this the worst you have seen him @lovemyboys? You could reassure him every day but he still might not believe it. His self esteem appears to be pretty low.

Re: 23 year old son
Having to put up this front that he has his act together when deep down he doesn't feel that way must be very difficult for him @lovemyboys. Even if it isn't true, his thoughts are telling him it is. He needs to realise that what he thinks isn't reality. Perhaps point out some things that he has got going for him because he can't see that or he just overlooks them and focuses on the bad stuff in his life.

Re: 23 year old son
He has soooo much going for him @soul When he was a baby he was sick we weren't even sure if he was going to make it, let alone be a healthy 6'6 man playing football almost professionally, managing a cafe, has a drivers licence and living out of home, and an excellent surfer
