Katie, my youngest is 19, almost 20 & he sounds like you. My oldest is 26 & both have had bad bouts with depression. Both have been hospitalised fr being suicidal too.

I think any one who's had real depression problems when young gains a maturity that easy-going kids don't have. It's from experiencing what it's like that gives them insight.

My 19 yr old, Tyrel, says that young people are way too much in a hurry to grow up & grown up life is full of heavy responsibilities & hardships - not a freedom from following orders like many think.

One time, jokingly, he said he can't wait till he grows old & decrepit. Then he can wear tacky jogging suits, use a cane, & wave it at young kids & shout "you young'ns git off my lawn before I whump ya a good one!" He was only kidding of course, he knows old age isn't great either. But it was a comment on trying to find enjoyment at whatever stage of life we're at without always wishing we were another age.

You'd both probably get along very well.
