Depression was a really hard condition to deal with.
Aiden had suicidal thoughts, but he knew he'd never act on them. He therefore knew he couldn't talk about it. No, then he'd just get reported and probably sent to a mental hospital that would treat him like an at-risk when he wasn't.
It was extremely isolating, and this feeling of isolation just made his depression worse.
I wish my brain wasn't so broken.
