He came home from work in kind of a weird mood and said he was gonna go to bed. He did this yesterday too. He’s not one to usually talk about his feelings. I asked what’s wrong and he said he just feels like a lot is going on lately. Nothing really is going on that I knew of so I asked what he means. He said just work is a lot and he’s in a weird place in his head. I asked what he meant. He said he just thinks about how long we have left in life a lot and he misses his family (we live a few hours away from them) and thinks his dad might not have long left to live or his grandma. Both of which are healthy by the way and fairly young. He’s said this before he’s afraid of losing his dad. He said he thinks about death every day

I told him he’s scaring me saying he thinks about death every day and he said it’s not anything to worry about and he kind of laughed, he would never do anything he said, it’s just like an obsessive thought he thinks about every day. Not about himself personally. I believe him by the way, I don’t think he would do anything! But he said we aren’t all going to live forever so some day everyone we know, or we will be gone, and he says it’s freaky no one for sure knows what the other side is like. He said he feels like it’s making him depressed and he can’t stop thinking about it, and he’s been thinking this for months

He’s had waves of depression I know but this kind of seemed to come out of no where. I asked if he thinks he should get on anti depressants and he says he doesn’t want to and it’s just a weird obsessive thought he has but it affects his mood. I hugged him and offered my support and told him I’m glad he told me about that, bc that would be a lot to keep inside. He said he feels good letting it out. I don’t know I was kind of surprised to hear it and don’t know if I handled it correctly well! Does anyone else think this kind of stuff obsessively?
