Help: how to help a friend with depression (added info)
|
#1

okay so my friend has already been to the doctor and got over depression however it seems reoccurring
they fear the deaths of those they care about most
what are ways I can help them?
What I have been doing:
* been there for them
* visiting them
* going out, walking and shopping with them
* trying to be there for them
* trying to stay as calm as I could around them
what seems to happen: when I'm around they are a little more active and will go out walking with me and all, playing games, watch movies
but when I'm not around they tend to go to bed... more than they normally would...
I feel a bit lost on what could be done to help them
so help would be much appreciated
last time the feelings eventually went away...
(going to research this some)
added:
they said they feel like the happiness is being drained out of them and that it feels like there won't be happiness in the future even if they know (kind of like how they said about the dementors from harry potter)
they feel like their mind is fuzzy
and are definitely not at their best, and they are hoping it doesn't affect their grades...
they slowly seem to feel like everything is spiraling wrong
they really like certain games normally but were going through and odd stage of saying they didn't need them because they were a waste of time... I got them to promise me they'd play some last night because it's one of the things they are used to doing and they really like fighting games
I hoped it helped some
they got their doctor appointment this week but other than adjusting the dose of medicine...
I don't know what else they could do...
it feels like an on going battle
