I came on here not for me but for my brother. He's 17 yo and he's almost about to be 18. And well I think he's kinda having trouble with certain things..I think he's a bit depressed. Let me explain, basically he's a big fan of sports and he always wanted to spend the rest of his life doing it. Like playing football, basketball,etc. But his leg injury he got a couple of years ago kinda prevents him from pursuing his dreams. I also find that really strange because he only dislocated the bone in his leg, no broken bones but regradless he can't really do any sports. And he was really lost and confused on what he wanted to do after highschool, but he decided to pursue engineering/computer science even though I know he isn't passionate about it. He even got accepted to pretty prestigious university, skipping college. As the months are going by however, I can tell he's really struggling, like he doesn't seem happy anymore. My parents are really rough on him and he never stands up for himself. Like he's talking less and less.I haven't been the best sibling but I know how it feels when everything is seems hopeless.What can I do to help him?

How can I feel or be grateful? I took some advice and started writing the things I'm grateful for. But I don't really feel anything. Or I do but it's like not really much. And it's like normal things like I'm grateful I can play guitar,etc. It's just numb. And I can't for the life of me write that I'm grateful for having a family or friends, I don't know why. Is it weird that if they all disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't feel sad or care? Maybe just a weight lifted off my shoulders. That's kinda messed up,isn't it? And I do care about them, so it's so weird that I feel that way.
