“unconditional love” in Aramaic.
“We were taking Kabbalah classes,” King said in 2017. “He said, let’s choose three designs each and not tell each other which ones they are and whichever one is matching, that’s the one we’re going to get tattooed – and we both chose unconditional love.”
For his mother’s 50th birthday last year, Alexander posted a tribute on Instagram that read in part: “To be able to watch you take this lifetime by its neck and make it yours is something I will forever be grateful for. But to have you as my mother is the greatest gift I could ask for.”
On Instagram a week ago, King shared a clip of her son’s latest track, Green Eyes. In an interview, she once called her son “an amazing young man”.
“You don’t know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don’t have a child, you don’t know what that is,” said King. “When you experience it, it’s the most fulfilling [thing] ever.”
When most of us think of depression, we think of intense sadness and tearfulness, but in men, the signs and symptoms associated with depression can be different.
While low mood, impaired sleep, decreased pleasure in activities that used to be enjoyed, low energy, appetite changes, hopelessness, decreased memory and concentration, and suicidal thoughts can be associated with depression, men may present differently. Examples of other presentations include:
Physical symptoms – Men may report more physical ailments related to the depression and stress they are experiencing. Some of the more common complaints include stomach problems, headaches, an increase in physical pain, and sexual dysfunction.
Substance use – It is not uncommon for men to use tools such as alcohol and drugs to deal with uncomfortable feelings associated with depression. This may actually be the preferred way to deal with the symptoms since drinking or drug use doesn’t require having to share what is going on with anyone.
