you sound like a great friend. I think an important thing to have is patience and no pressure. I had plenty friends that have gotten mad at me for not coming out or talking to them at all even after telling them my issue. The best friends I have ever had are there and one of my most patient friends ALWAYS at least once or twice a week invited me out or shot me a phone call even though ai most likely wont even answer the phone and will end up saying no to the invite. One of the things I hated more than ever when telling someone I was feeling crap is when they would ask "are you taking your medication?" if it actually worked I would understand that question to a degree.....but most of the time medication is merely a stablizer not a miracle "happy" pill like people like to call it......
