My brother is pleasantly surprising me

He was displaying a lot of empathy and compassion towards me when I told him that I was feeling super depressed.
My father called him up late last night and he was on the phone consoling me, telling me things will be alright and to contact my doctor, it shall pass soon.

This morning he was asking about me to see how I was doing.

Im very surprised by his compassionate demeanor towards me.

But then again he understands depression because he suffers from major depression himself.

He was so kind towards me.
Haven’t seen him like this in years!

Hopefully it lasts.

Sounds good.
It’s nice to have family support; especially when someone has depression themselves.

He called me again on my cell phone to see how I was doing?

Something doesn’t feel right.

This is so unlike his usual self.

Im not complaining though.

It was really nice of him to show some concern.
