Hi and welcome. How are your mum and dad in all this? Does he live with them?

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Thanks. My parents are trying to support him by talking things through with him but they feel they keep saying the wrong things when he’s upset/agitated. I really feel for them because they are worried about him. He keeps saying he knows he’s got support but he’s just not content and won’t be going to the Doctors. He was hoping to buy a house and move out but he’s got no interest in that now and sees the ‘doom and gloom’ in it, despite saying he wants to be moving on in life like everyone else. What I really find hard to understand is, although I know he occasionally looks online for things to help, he seem extremely reluctant for anybody external to know about it, even friends.
(Continued) ...He speaks about friends who have had similar issues who I am sure would support him in return but he seems to think nobody is interested.
