about

Hello, my name is Jessica, but I go by the name Fornorina online :)
I have had loads of experiences lately, so I figured I could lend some more people a hand with what I have to say.
I am going to try and answer a few questions every day via the Random Question link as I think it's a really good way to see questions.
I hope I can answer a lot of questions and give you some good advice.
My friends have always told me I give good advice, because I say everything from my heart and my previous experiences.
I think I can help a lot of people on Adivenators, because I know a lot about my favourite catorgories which you will see below.
My friend commit suicide last year, so I am still not over that because it's been my first death.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you have via email or straight into my inbox on advicenators.
Thanks :) X

advice

In the last few years it has become apparent that my mother has signs of depression. I'm in college now, I don't live at home, but it still affects me. Nobody in the family seems to want to admit it. My mother has no real friends and no real hobbies and I was the last kid to leave. When I talk to her on the phone she always seems sad that I will not be coming home for the summer, etc. Things like that. It hurts me that I can't be there for her but it also depresses me when I have to worry about maybe making matters worse by doing things I want to do with my life. It's a tough spot to be in when it's your mother who is depressed and it has been really hard on me. I don't know how to deal with it.

My friend's father suffers from bad depression, and now so does my friend - but I am always there for her - so that helps her out a little bit.
You should talk to your mother about it, and suggests getting some antidepressants and seeing whether her doctor knows of any groups where she can go to get her feelings out in the open and off her chest. That way, she will meet new people whilst sorting it out.
Also, a good way to get past depression is to try something new. A new hobby I mean. It could be anything relaxing like, painting to something more active like rock climbing. See what she says :)
