Hello letsgogh: The Skeezyks doesn't have any profound suggestions for you here. To me, it's simply a matter of asking your friend how she's doing. If she says not so good, or something to that effect, ask if she wants to talk about it. Let her take the lead. Don't push. Don't intrude. Let her know you're there for her. Share stories from your own experiences with mental illness & recovery. But no fixing, no saving, no advising, & no setting your friend straight. Gentle support is where it's at, from the Skeezyks' perspective. Good luck!
Thanks for this!
