Hi everyone! I have not been here in a while and I missed you all! This post is not actually for me its for advice on what to do about a co-worker of mine. He is a very depressed indivdual at this time. Over all i think he is a great guy however he has some major issues, such as getting really upset when people talk about their significant others because he thinks he will never find someone and has the worst luck. In his life overall nothing makes him happy (except work which is sad) and he feels like things ALWAYS go wrong for him. Things do happen to him but they happen to everyone. The thing is i know how he feels i have depression and anxiety though not as bad as him right now. He opend up to me last night and a bit today. I am worried about him now though, he is talking about how life is not worth it, he shoudl jump off a bridge, etc. He admitted hes not always this bad but things are getting to him plus he says he does not know if he can make it through the holidays. I told him to call his dr but his doc is away. he doesnt really want to get me involved so i dont know what i should do or say to him. He is functioning, he is working today, etc he always works hard. but i just want to know what to say to help him.

thank you!
