my issue for the day....
| Thu, 08-04-2005 - 5:07pm |
well my brother is having problems(major ones) with depression...he is older then me (34) and gay as well...He lost his bf after 9 years about 10 months ago....They lost the home they bought together and pretty much everything...at first he felt good and was happy to be single....I took his babies(his dogs) so he knew they were in good hands.....he has a business now and works probably 70 hours a week,...some depression is that the business is over-whelming and he has money but no time to relax and enjoy it....some depression is for the fact that he can't meet a nice guy(he is ready to settle down again,i feel),all the guy treat him like dirt,string him along,or whatever...
today he's been at the doctor waiting to try and get something (meds ) for this depression for 3 hours now at least...he cried to my mom on the phone and well I am very afraid ,not sure if he would ever try and hurt himself or if it is depression and no sucidial thoughts....
I plan to ask him tonight if he would hurt himself when I call him....
not sure what to do....am going to ask him if he needs me there....
it's a three to four hour drive to where he lives now,but he knows I have always been there and always will...and well I had my own depression I was treated for ,so he knows I have been there as well....
not sure i need advice just maybe needed to get this out....thanks.....Jo

Be there for him as you can. Depression is a very difficult to deal with, as you and I both know.
My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time.
Many (((hugs)))
