How do you help your friend who is battling depression?
I have this one friend who is depressed and honestly I don't really know what to say whenever she talks to me about it. The best way is to just be a listener but when you're chatting with her it's kind of hard to not give a response, isn't it? Tried telling her she should seek professional help but her mom is kind of traditional and doesn't believe that depression is a mental illness.
She told be that lately she's feeling disconnected to some people but I know for the fact that one of the factors is her exclusive group of friends that are really possessive. I want her to know that she is still very much loved and appreciated, and I want her to kind of 'loosen up' with her exclusive group but I don't know how. Can anyone help me?
I suck at giving advice to people but I suggest you not give up on her tell her how you feel don't be afraid. Tell her how much you care about her. When I was depressed all of my friends deserted me and I ended up getting worse. Thankfully my cousin told me that I didn't need them in my life if they made me feel bad all the time. That it was better...... 3 reply
