Here. Add a slight headache to yesterday's mild depression.

My son is having odd thoughts. He seems to be aware that his ideas are possibly not true, so he checks them with me. I just can't figure out why he's starting this now. Maybe the stress over the job hunt? His anxiety level was very high early last week. Now he's retreating into his weird thinking.

His eyes are shiny again too. I mentioned that shiny-eyed look he gets before, but in the past it's been associated with rages. Now he's not raging. I wonder if his eyes get shiny because he's not blinking enough? The moisture on the surface isn't cleared, so the eyes get shiny?

He also needs a haircut, so his hair is sticking out all around. Between the shiny unblinking eyes and the sticking out hair, he's looking pretty wild.

He says he's not feeling irritable, but that he's on the edge of irritability. Just not sure what to do next to make things better. Maybe nothing? Maybe it'll pass on its own? I'm just glad he seems to be aware that the things he's thinking aren't necessarily accurate.
