But I don’t want him to get to the point where he can’t get out from under the bed… as a parent the worst feeling is to see your child suffering and not being able to help them. I want for him to be happy, of course.
As for bullying… oh yeah, he recently changed schools because of years of being bullied horribly. Plus the fact that he has a lot of other issues means that we’ve done our share of medicating, therapy, etc., for other issues but not depression. Now this is just something else, as there always seem to be. I have to admit that I’m secretly afraid that he’s bipolar, which I know can manifest itself differently in children than adults. And I’m afraid that his being able to exactly pinpoint when this depression started may support my intuition on that.
