I have Major Depression, so I can understand the suicidal ideation. I just never really felt manic, so I know I don't understand half of what being bipolar is like. I feel like she's had the biggest manic episode of her life and now she's crashed. She's doing better now a lot of her other friends reached out as well. One of them told her to remember how she felt when her father passed and that all of us, her friends and family would feel that same and that really hit her. She is very thankful, but she said she's still having a breakdown and she needs all the help she can get. In the past, when she would go into her depressions, I would just tell her I'm here if she wants to talk. But now I just want to talk to her instead of waiting on her to talk to me about it first. I just don't know what to say. I can see the no gratitude/resentment thing all the time and that's what makes me not know what I should say sometimes.
