Wow, that is rough, Kinzie. No wonder you are depressed. And it sounds like your boyfriend does not know how to deal with someone who is depressed. Something that might help you is when you are at school, talk to your guidance counselor. I hope both you and your brother get better real soon, Kinzie. In the meantime, look up Psalm 34:18 in your Bible - I find it very encouraging. Even though it may feel like it at times, you are not alone in your struggle. Peace and a hug to you, Kinzie.

Yes, you are depressed, but it's not the kind of depression that requires medication; yours is related to the events and situations that are unfolding before you.

The feelings you're having are a normal part of the process of grieving over his troubles, and over your fears for his health and even his life.

Your boyfriend might be freaked out about the whole thing. Serious illness is frightening, and young people don't always respond appropriately. He might also be afraid you'll cry, and in that regard, he could use some growing up to do, but if he's young, that's of course to be expected.
