My friend is always depressed, & I don't know..?!


Question: My friend is always depressed, & I don't know!.!.!?
Ever since last year, I've been dealing with depression!. I won't go to a shrink, because they don't help, and it's still kinda weighing on my mind!. I've been feeling better since August, which I broke to rock bottom!. I was on the verge of suicide!.!.!.But now I know I probably won't ever be that depressed again!. I have purpose in life, and find it easier to get up and do things instead of laying in bed all day!. My friend Katey is always depressed, and lately even more so!. She missed school monday, so I went over to her house, and cheered her up, because she hadn't gotten out of bed since Friday!.!.She was way happier, and came to school the next day!. Now (wednesday) she asked me in class what's the point in life!.!.I tried to ask her whether she wanted to die alone in pain, cold, and scared!.!.or live her life, have fun, and do as much as you can, then die with your loved ones, happy about your life!.!.!.But I know she'll never really get it until she hits rock bottom too!. I don't know what to do!.!.I'm scared for her!. I don't want to lose my best friend!.!.!.What do I do!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Talk to her!. Let her know that you're there for her!. And, for some people, it just takes time!. I'm not telling you to wait until she is three feet from the edge of a bridge, but sometimes it takes life-changing experiences to get a message in people's minds!.
This reminds me of the Sixx:AM song "Life Is Beautiful"!. The singer says, "It took a funeral to make me feel alive"!. It just shows that some people need to get that close to the other side to realize that they don't want to go there!.

In the meantime, be kind and caring to her, and spend quality time with her!. And, if you happen to be religious, introduce religion to her!. That is often a big cheer-up-er to those who are feeling down, to let them know that there is Someone above who honestly, truly, and sincerely cares about them!.
I know it was for me!.

Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
