My gf is depressed, how can i help?!


Question: My gf is depressed, how can i help!?
my gf is pretty much depressed and has been for the last year or so!.

its not been easy as her gandparents passed away and then with exam pressure and such, i can completely understand why!.

i just want to know how i can help her get over it!.
i was depressed a couple of years ago!.!. then something clicked and i changed!.!. but i know its not the same for everybody!. I have been with her for a year n 4 months and ive been here for her through it all, im just wondering if there is any way i can help her without saying she should go to a doctor or something as that is not the right solution for her!.

ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com

i'm the same way!.!. i have borderline depression and it sucks!. i dont believe in doctors for mental health!.!. i've seen over 20 and they have been no help to me whatsoever!. either unreliable or just made me feel worse about myself!. so i can relate when you say its not the right solution for her!. for me when my depression comes around, i feel stuck!. i feel like theres nothing i can do about it!. but then yeah, something clicks and i'm okay again!.!. and eventually i fall back into a sucky state again!. for myself, the only thing i can do is ride it out!. for me, i find its the situation that causes it!. so if you find her in a situation that you can do something about, do whatever you can in your power to make it easier!. otherwise, just let her know you're there!. most people are co-dependent when depressed, they just want someone to talk to, and someone that will listen!.!. and cuddle with when they're having a bad day!. you know!? thats pretty much it, if you find that its getting really bad, suggest a doctor!. and tell her you'll be there every step of the way if thats what it takes!. and remember to tell her you love her! i know thats what keeps me going most days :) good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could help her study for exams, or encourage how she's doing!. Time is really the only way to cure depression!. Plus, depending on how sunny it is where you are, sun is a known factor to happiness!. Unless she doesn't like sun, or if she doesn't want to go outside or something, then just find something to make her laugh like a sitcom!. Show her how much you want to help, or just show her affection in general!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can try to help her to find interests to take her mind off things!. Also, you could talk to a counselor and ask how to help her!. Maybe she would go with you eventually!. It sounds like you are already helping her a whole lot by being supportive and not criticizing her!. That is quite important!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My dad actually delt with depresion!.
Going to the doctor, or getting help is not the answer!.
All they do is give you pills,
wich 99 percent of the time doubles the depression!.
the only natural way to get over depression is to find somethings to be happy about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would try to keep her mind off it and try to keep her busy with fun things maybe!. Anything tht will help her!. Recently ive been depressed too but thats because my best friend is moving and as long as i dont think about it im happy!. I hope this helps some!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
