Depression (Patreon)

Our friend Nico has been going through a big depression ever since he lost his well paid job and broke up with his partner last year. He's trying to sue his employer who fired him. All the lawyer and court stuff have only made his depression getting worse. 

Joe told me that Nico has been taking more and more medecin and is basically sleeping though the week doing nothing. Beside going out from time to time to do the necessary shopping. He stays at his rural house and has no human contact.

Joe and I visited him shortly after the trip. And his state is worrying to say the least. There were trash bags all over the floor in his house, and his dog and two cats apprently didn't help cleaning the house either. His barbell bench press now became a laundry rack. He looked tired. And he got very emotional telling us about his ex. It seems he's still trying to get his abusive boyfriend back.

I told him it's not healthy to hold on to an ended relationship. He replied me with tears in his eyes.

- I'm a faggot, OK? I can't control my emotions. Nico said to me.

 I feel bad for Nico. He used to be this tall and handsome red head man who had a good job and an attractive young boyfriend. But everything came crashing down after he lost his job. His self-esteem fell to zero and gained several kilos. We tried our best to help, but it doesn't seem to be eough to get him back.
