Megan,

It is not always true that depressed people sit home and cry. I was clinically depressed years ago, and honestly NO ONE knew! No one....

I even thought like you, that if I could wonder if I was depressed, I couldn't be, cause I was AWARE....but that isn't necessarily true either...

Inside I was miserable. I was screaming inside. When I got done with the day's work, the charade of being "perfect" was over....

It wouldn't hurt you at all to talk to a certified therapist.

I can say one thing you have that I didn't is the ability to voice what you want to here and people will respond to you...

Getting some good real solid advice on your son's situation from a minister or a certified counselor will probably help you a lot.

Peace.
