Sorry if this is wordy: I'm a writer, so it comes with the territory. A bonus sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I'm new.
My best friend is in college, and I don't know if it's burnout, stress, depression, or a cocktail of the three, but it's difficult for her to do homework and go to classes anymore. I want to help motivate her, but after a stint of depression or something that began two years ago (I basically had no mood for anything except watching Chuggaaconroy LPs), I feel like I lost any ability to motivate or sometimes even help her. (Granted, I couldn't even motivate myself during that time.)
I feel awful because I want to help, but I don't know how.
