What can I do for her?


Question Posted Wednesday November 21 2007, 3:01 pm

Okay, a little info on my bff: She's 16 and has major depression. She is on anti-depressants but I don't think they are working.

So, there's this girl that my bff was good friends with. But on Saturday (11/17), the girl died in a car accident. My bff has been really down lately and her family doesn't understand why she's sad (I mean, they know about the death but I don't know...they're not supportive, I guess). I don't know what I can say or do for her because I'm really just clueless as to what to do.

Can anyone give me suggestions? I don't want her hurting herself or thinking about suicide or just depressed overall.

And to put a spin on this: I'm not allowed to see her (so says my mother O.x) but I see her at school and I can e-mail her (although she never checks them) and I can definitely meet her in the morning (6AM ish) at the playground...so that's about all the contact I can have with her.

Be her shoulder to lean on. Sounds like she really, really needs one right now.
Let her know you are there to listen if she needs to talk about anything.

try to comfort. Tell her things she wants to hear. Maybe speak to her parents and let them know whats really going on, my friend was going through the same thing and lately she had been better than ever its as if she was never depressed. Just show her your there for her and she can count on you she will appreciate it.
