I wondered if anyone can help. i have a close friend who has been depressed all year. He doesn’t answer messages a lot, is very withdrawn.
I’ve tried so hard to help and encourage him to get help but he gets annoyed.
I’ve started to struggle some days as i repeatedly say just read messages even if you don’t reply so i don’t worry. I get upset he won’t respect this and we go in circles. If i say it upsets me he ignores me.
lots of my friends say to not bother with him but that seems wrong to me as sometimes he does open up and talk. Does anyone have any advice. Also i struggle to understand he can go to work but not answer me but says it’s cause has to do that. i’m trying to educate myself so i can support him. Any advice would be appreciated
