In the past 5 years I have been in and out of depression and anxiety. At some point, I needed help from friends to check on me, help me to do groceries, cheer me up...
Now that I am not "sick" I have a hard time to define my friendship with this healthy me. Friends are often asking.. how are you sleeping? did you take your medication today? on a scale of 1 to 10 how are you feeling? ... Any suggestions on how to redefine my friendship? |

Get in the habit of asking them Q's.
How are they doing? How are things in their world? Answer their Q's honestly, and say that you're starting to feel a lot better now. Thank them for being there for you & now you can be there for them.
