I have a sibling living at home with my mother. He is nearing 30 years.
I think maybe there is the possibility of depression in him but I don't know.
He doesn't work and he lives of unemployed benifits. My mother supports him and she doesn't make him pay towards any of the bills. Sometimes he helps with some jobs around the house but it's rare and once in a blue moon. Eg the changing of a light bulb in the middle of winter. Maybe the changing of a barrel of gas once a year.
There's something dirty happening in him. His sleep is all over the place. He sleeps all day and often only gets up in the middle of the night when the coast is clear of anyone else. Then he goes back to bed an stays there. Any time I am over there and when we pass, there's no conversation from him and its just grunting something that may be hello. There's many other things the place is run down and he won't help with the house or the maintenance of the property like grass cutting. He manages to gain enough energy to get out of bed to see his friends. Covid lockdown hasn't really helped. His life is just sleep in his room except for once every 4 or 5 weeks he may gain the energy to see his friends.
2 or 3 years, before lockdown theres been several episodes like this but worse. The only time he had was for his friends and that was weekly and then it was hiding out in his room.
I don't know what this is. I don't know if this is depression with him or its just him being lazy with a poor personality on top.
My mother has her head buried firmly in the sand about his condition by the way and chooses to take a mild approach and an approach of pity which I think probably won't help him.
