[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 688585, member: 19887"] so oldest son is still depressed, not working and hard to talk to. He sleeps most of the day, and is defensive when we ask him about it. Younger son has had three job interviews, and should be working soon. I was in younger sons room today and noticed two pill bottles... They were prescriptions, one for antidepressants and one for sleeping pills. I was shocked. I asked him and he says he was depressed and not sleeping right this winter so he went to campus counselling and the doctor on campus. He said he isn't on either one anymore and thinks he may have seasonal affective disorder . First of all, I do have SAD, and have had a particularly hard winter due to older son and his addiction/anxiety/depression. I am not surprised younger son has had some issues, but I honestly didn't see anything at all. I feel like a bad mother that he was struggling and I never knew. It does explain why he dropped two courses and didn't do very well this term. He seems ok now and assured me he is. Scary how I was living under same roof and had no idea Older son is stil worrying us... But what can we do at this point? He was angry tonight because he said someone from his drug days owed him 700. We said that is what happenes in that business... Not much you can do. He still doesn't get it. He hasn't really applied for jobs that we can see and basically looks horrible and run down. Ironically younger son went and got a haircut as his interview today told him to before the next interview with the manager. He listened to him, but when we said it last week, he wouldn't. Of course we don't kNow anything ;) So so tired and just tying to keep my head above water.... On a good note, husband and I went to see James Taylor last night and he was amazing!!!! [/QUOTE]
