Ah I think you ended up editing my post when adding your response for it.
Anyway, yeah, I see what you mean. How could I convince a depressed person in my life that they need to relax and allow me to invite them to do fun stuff. ?
If they are totally obsessed with security, financial security, and the like, obsessed with trying to get and to keep work but barely being able to do much in practice due to their depression (unipolar, though possibly bipolar II), being scattered all over the place with it and never relaxing and getting offended if being invited to have fun etc. Also yeah with sleep schedule being a mess too.
I also had this idea that they could do creative work because yes they are a creative person too. But that ended up going nowhere too. Maybe if it wasn't work at first....?
But yeah, how could I mention all this in an empathetic, understanding way?
