Often feel that I am being made to react to imaginary issues to gain attention.

Hi @PaulCSP and welcome. One of my sons has depression: it’s been a major issue for the last 12 years. He’s been more settled recently, but it varies. I’d say that with him it’s more that he sees little problems as huge ones that can’t be overcome without help. Then comes the hard part of trying to help him deal with it for himself, by using positivity and encouragement. Doesn’t always work.
Anyway, this is the place to share with others and hopefully get some of the pressure off, etc.
Why not tell us more about yourself in "Roll Call!? It’s our “chat over thegarden fence”! https://forum.carersuk.org/t/roll-call-february-2026/128086 - there are about 800 posts to catch up on for this month, mind!
