My best friend is depressed. Simple as that. Been diagnosed and everything. I just want to help her, because she's amazing, but sometimes I can't find the right things to say. Uh in question for, I guess just what should I do? In general.
Thanks :)
First of all, let me start by saying how good of a friend you already are. We can already tell you really care about this person and that's great. So, it is completely understandable that you can't find the right things to say, because you are not a professional. You are just someone who has their friend's best interest at heart, which already makes you an amazing friend.
The only thing you can do is be there for her and support her 100%. However, if things for some reason do get out of hand, you need to let someone know. Preferably, a trustworthy adult who you think will be of great help. Something else you might want to do is to try and get her mind off of anything that's troubling her. Maybe you guys should go to the movies, mall, an amusement park, or do something that she likes doing. Unfortunately, depression cannot be cured, so don't feel like your obligated to make her happy every second of every day, because we are not superhuman.
We admire your great concern for your friend and we really do hope that everything turns out alright. If you ever come to a point where you yourself are having a hard time, feel free to contact us personally. Don't forget you can always count on us and know that you are a great friend. :)
Sincerely,
Priory Peers
