it's terrible too b/c they feel this way for soo long that it becomes so hard to imagine life being different or that it once was different.
hey u said that u'r kind of going through the same thing and i just wanted to tell u to stay strong cuz i know sometimes it's really hard to watch someone you love so much be in so much pain. i also wanted to tell u that the worst thing to do is tell them that it's just in there head or that it's going to go away i have been doing that and i've always wondered y he would just sort of close me out or he would just change the subject and know i know that it's just that for me or for anyone looking in form the outside it's easy to just imagine that whatever it is it's going to go away but the person who is feeling sad and depressed doesn't see it like that at all. Another thing i've also been doing is trying to give advice, which doesn't really work i think really everyone who said this is really right the best thing to do is to just listen and show them u care. no advice, no tough love, no "it's just a phase" or "it's going to go away."
good luck to u and i hope everyone feeling this way gets better
