Oh @melclarity that sounds like a tough time for you. My eldest son is doing HSC this year and a few years ago we felt he had depression. After working through issues etc we were referred to a psychiatrist and he was diagnosed with ADHD and an inability to focus on school work for very long which was causing low grades, low self esteem and depression. He was 13 at the time but we're managing well now with help from a psychologist and psychiatrist. All is good now. There are down times and frustrating times and melt downs but we have the tools to deal with it now. I hope your son finds the tools he needs to manage and cope with depression.
As for the little things that brighten my day...we've had lots of rain and humidity here in Sydney and the mushrooms and fungi are popping up everywhere. I love getting down and photographing them all. They are fascinating how they just pop up overnight.
