My mother has depression, so I can empathize. When I was younger, she frequently had mental breakdowns, was constantly stressed and angry, and cried all the time. As mentioned, I was quite young around this time, so I didn't understand that my mother had depression. I thought it was something that a crayon-and-construction paper card could fix, so I made them for her constantly. My mom has an entire filing cabinet drawer of them. She takes medication for it now, and is doing much better, but we always try to be considerate of her around the house, when we can't afford to re-fill her prescription.

Your doing a good thing I have a friend like that and i am not that normal myself and I more or less know how he feels but it helps a lot to have someone therethere so keep up the good work
