you might wanna check his dosage bc ik someone who tried to 💀 themselves on anxiety/ depression meds just bc the dosage was too high. when they fixed it they got sm better and the meds started working

Idk your situation but meds and chemistry is different for everyone. Maybe it’s time to consult a psychiatrist and therapist about the effects of the meds. Or if they are new, with in 2 ish months, then they haven’t fully taken effect and shown what life could be like in them. Maybe have fun sleepovers and do floor pallets and take turns sleeping in each others rooms and have movie nights together

He texts me in the middle of the night saying he misses me and waited for me outside of the bathroom last night crying saying he just needs to chat for a little bit. He has to go to work today. We took a family vacation last week. I am worried there is a chance he will not make it to the end of the day today.

If you brother doesn’t wanna be alone at night or has a lack of connection to life itself, then try and reach out or full on invade his space. It’s easier since your family to do some things and not be weird or too overbearing like in a friendship. You can go to Walmart and get mini food makers from dash. Or try a new creative toy like make it minis together and give him smth to focus on with his hands and a process that takes a while,

Some antidepressants are known to cause suicidal ideation in young ppl for a few weeks before starting to affect them positively :(

And he was doing so well for so long. I have not seen him like this for two years.☹️ The only upside is he is busy now with work and does not spread hate speech online.
