I have been in that deep dark hole of depression before so I know what it is like. I have a friend who is really struggling right now and I am the only person she has to talk to. She has a therapist but has not been seeing her all that long so she has a hard time being totally open with her.
I am trying my hardest to be supportive and using my experiences as a guide but I am not sure what more I can do. I have suggested crisis lines to call, going back on meds and talking to her therapist. I have even suggested coming to this forum. But I understand where she is at right now and her motivation to do these things in nonexistent.
What else can I do? I am looking for suggestions and ideas to try and help her. I want to be supportive but not too pushy because I want her to feel like she can continue to talk to me and be open with me. I just want her to get some more support as well.
