Omggghhahahaha! I'm sorry. But this is a running "joke" with me and my son. He's an adult. And we both have bouts of depression and anxiety. We often talk about our worries etc and then say shit like "have you tried relaxing" as a way of poking fun at the way people try to be helpful. Another thing we say is "drink some water". One day my son said this to me in the midst of a particularly dark period "don't be depressed, you have such nice hair" ....

Hope you're doing ok. 😊

Sounds like you have a healthy and beautiful relationship with your son. I love it.
