Dear Anna:

Welcome back to your thread!

“I am very confused and I try to figure out if it’s his depression which talks of him trying to express his true-self?“-

-if he is confused about his true self, and he is, no wonder you are confused about his true self. Depression is not like the flu, a virus from the outside that infects a person and causes the same symptoms in all people infected. Depression develops in the inside of a person, from a variety of personal  experiences over time, and it involves different emotions (fear, anger, frustration, etc.)  that get stuck in a person, causing a sort of emotional constipation. Within that constipation issues get mixed up and it becomes messy and confusing.

I hope it all gets clearer in his mind and heart, and that you get clearer too. Post again anytime, and if something comes up in my mind regarding your recent post, I will reply again tomorrow.
