my girlfriend called me saturday night to asked me how i was doing. when i asked her how she was she said not good, that she was depressed. she continued to tell me that she had no purpose in life and she kept saying while we were talking " whats the point"

Im trying to comfort her not to the point of patronizing but its hard to do because she majored in psychology and talking to her this way is like playing catch with a pro baseball pitcher.

she wants counseling but doesnt have insurance. i do and i know that there is a EAP program but im not sure how that would work. maybe there are group sessions but again this is a person would knows how the system works so how to find somebody who would really help her i dont know

please help

thank you for listening

she can probably find a group through NAMI. it does sound as if she certainly needs some help. you can find the local NAMI by googling it. you're a good friend to help her........xoxox pat

I am glad she has a friend as good as you. She may also try local agencies. Mental health organizations can usually point you to some resources. Another national organization is DBSA. They have many local chapters.

Good luck.
