My little brother was in the hospital (which was apparently the 2nd time)He is falling into massive depression with HORRIBLE panic attacks and wouldnt even respond to me hardly at all when i got there and now i get calls all the time like tonight with him in the middle of a massive panic attack and although i talk him through them and know exactly what to tell him to try to do or where to go.....I feel SO BAD INSIDE because he has to feel the same exact shit that i have been been feeling for the past two years now and just wanna fuckin ball my eyes out because i dont want anyone let alone my youngest brother to feel anything that i have in the past.....idk what to do because of these feelings and wish that i could just take all of his pain away....i feel like its my fault somehow because of how i pushed him away in our younger days and how i treated him in the past because of being my only half brother....GOD DAMN IT I FEEL SO BAD!!!!! On the phone tonight all he could do was cry and i wanted to just give him the biggest hug EVER and when he asked if i was at home or working i felt so bad because i was at work and couldnt go see him like he definetily wanted me to... I just dont know how the hell to handle this shit.

You are there for him and that is the best thing of all at this time. He knows he can rely on you and you have a line of communication open so you are helping. Thank goodness he is getting treatment for his depression. This is the worst time of the year for some of us dealing with depression. Continue to see him when you can and be there for him as much as possible. Also remember to take care of yourself. You can't help anyone if you are unable to help yourself. Good luck and God bless you both.

Well.....he isnt getting treatment yet but is SEEKING treatment atleast so yes thats good...Its like he is triggering my depression I GUESS as im feeling all of this pain because he is as well and it hurts so damned bad but at the same time i know that i have to carry on and just be me..He hurts so much and i am the only thing that he has that he can relate to and i cant even see him when he needs me ( If that isnt fucked up then tell me what is ) I feel like ive done something wrong by him feeling this way

I must have misunderstood. You said he was in the hospital and I thought you meant for the depression. His anxiety is feeding your feelings. You can't take that on and help him through his problems. Being there is great whether it is by phone, mail, or in person.

I agree with Marcinak. Be strong for Bro and show him, by example, that he can be tough like you as well!

But it might be a good idea if his doctor knows what is going on so he can be treated. Maybe it would help if you saw the doctor with him and described to his doctor that type of depressin,

Good Luck!

Well i did call today and get him in with my therapist and he is very good at what he does and actually saved me from stepping over the edge more than once....so he will see him in about an hour and hopefully my brother can start to make some sense of what he is going through....Like i told my brother he cant prescribe anything but can diagnose and this should go a long way with his doctor

Glad to hear u were able to go see him. I'm sorry for your shared pain. It's uplifting to see that you were able to provide him with words of encouragement and insight as you too have been through similar hardship. Those who have hurt are usually those who can get loved ones out of a similar situation because of experience. Though what you've been through as well as what he is currently going through is undeserved .. you were able to be with him in his time of need, which is so valuable Sean, perhaps more than you'll ever give yourself credit for. My thoughts and prayers are with your brother. God bless.

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...
