My cousins 18 year old has autism I think ( her gran told us but in true British fashion no ever talks about it - just how different she is).
She has depression. there is a big history pf this in her nuclear family. We talk via social media and she is getting me and more worried. Talk about going away etc. I have mentioned this to family before and been told its just the way she is. Severely depressed is a normal functioning level. She is on anti d's and under cahms. She says she hides her true feelings but I guess it must be obvious to everyone as she posts on FB about being a burden etc.
I don't know what to do as she is getting worse in my eyes. What with everything I have going on with ds I am not sure I can handle this. I want to tell her gran but I don't want to betray trust. She kind of hinted two weeks back that she was either going to top herself or run away but I'm pretty sure it was just talk. If she said something like that again surely I should betray her trust and tell someone?
