Follow up on the state of being

Thank you all for your support and kind words. I have talked to Tom about the possibility that he is depressed, and he denies that he is having a problem with depression. I'm sure that he's not depressed about not finding work, because that would mean that he has actually tried to find work. He freely admits that he has not attempted to find work

*hugs* Sorry, I've been out of it myself, as I've been too busy to keep up on LJ, DW, FB, anything the past few days, and only just saw this. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.Know you are in my thoughts.

Good luck! Sounds like a good start.

I think you'll have a huge uphill battle trying to get him to see any kind of specialist. Given his family history, he's probably terrified of the idea of seeing/needing one for any kind of mental health issue. That said, this behavior sounds like something is eating at him, and he's running away from it

I haven't been on LJ in ages and didn't realize you were going through this
