Well he's going through a pretty hard time too, he has some legal stuff to deal with but out of respect I won't go too much into that on a public forum. Anyways he's broke and still putting in lots of hours at work but really needs his pay check which his boss is significantly late on giving him.

He needs to pay off some things and might need to hire a representative for the legal stuff. I am just kind of worried because he was pretty depressed when I saw him yesterday, it was his birthday to. I don't think hes going to intentionally hurt himself or anything its just hard seeing him all down and out.

I have a lot on my plate as well, I mean I finally gave in to trying an anti-depressant I was prescribed because I am painfully depressed. My therapist suggested it, since otherwise I was considering the psych ward...which I still am if the anti-depressant doesn't help or causes more side effects than its worth. Then I have the SSI appeal process, applying for state assistance and tension at home because I don't get along well with my moms boyfriend, I do try but he really irritates me much of the time. And I never was exactly happy about my parents divorce so maybe that factors in.

Is anyone else dealing with a down and out parent or family member, while trying to stay sane your self. I am not going to avoid him just because he's depressed but I do have to sort of make sure I don't neglect myself by worrying about him too much. Oh also my brother is homeless right now and neither he or I have cell phone minutes so I only hear from him if hes with someone with a phone. He's not in terrible mental health, right now he seems to be making the best of it, but even so its hard not to worry. So what do I do about obsessive worrying about people?
