This definitely sounds like depression to me! He sounds absolutely miserable! Has he been in therapy before? If so, it sounds like he needs to go back. I would urge him to make an appointment as soon as possible. It may be hard to get him to go, since he seems to be averse to going anywhere or doing anything.

I guess all you can do is gently remind him of how he used to be, and tell him that he needs some help with getting back to his 'normal' self. Try not to nag -- that will push him further away. Perhaps if you could find some pamphlets or print some info out on depression and when to seek help -- maybe that would spur him to action.

I sure hope he goes. There certainly IS plenty of hope. He's just got to get the help he needs. I wish you the very best! Please keep us posted. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
