[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 637842, member: 14557"] Good point and a reminder, though till now that has not been my difficult child's MO. It has been other way around mostly. False bravado, not telling us about bad things, lying he is doing better than he is (in emotional sense, not so much with actual measurable things we could check the truth about) and while awful drama queen, internalising his drama. In that past it has been time to start worry, when difficult child starts to behave cranky and obnoxious way and on the other hand posting positive thinking messages to social media (you know the kind; how winners never quit, when one door closes another one opens and blah, blah, blah.) But this latest crisis may have changed things. If he is not sure about his goals any more, he could be doing this to buy time or something. On the other hand he may actually be genuinely depressed like he was diagnosed. That changes one's self narrative to darker, so even if he has not always thought like that, it may be true now.
