I have a hard time keeping up with hw and administrative tasks so my buddy and i have weekly lock in time. Also an adhd trick

Get him to see a clinician & get his blood tested as well. Make sure he’s going outside in nature & regularly socially interacting w ppl who raise his spirits, maybe go w him to the gym every other day, watch funny things, & get him to engage himself spiritually. Sometimes depression can go away btw, depends on a case by case basis. Moving water is better than still water, get him out of his current routines into something w more stuff happening. If it’s work related regularly talk w him abt it

You should join a athletic club or boxing club

If they could give me a taller body, bigger dih, handsome face, good hair, and intelligent brain, then that would be nice. Otherwise, nothing

beer league hockey, he’s graduated so he can’t play on the schools team anymore. i’m over the finances (budgets, tracking credit, etc.) he makes way more than me. i’m sorry that it came off that i’m supporting us financially but he’s the bread winner by a mile 😅

i haven’t noticed him missing any or forgetting about appointments or important events but i’ll look into it with him in case i missed it. thanks!! i just want to be as supportive and helpful as i can with him :)

Its more helpful for me to get the motivation to make appts and such. Also it seems like hes struggling with anhedonia, figuring out what type is helpful for figuring out how to get him inspired to start enjoying things again

thanks a lot! i haven’t heard of anhedonia before but i’ll look into it and i might also try to talk to his brothers more and see if they have gone through the same in case he’d rather talk to them. you have been a great help.
