(Anonymous) 2019-08-05 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)Assuming that you're the person who was trying to help, and not the person who was depressed - my advice is not to press them or pressure them into talking about it. Be present for them but let them take it at their own pace.

(Anonymous) 2019-08-05 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)What I would say is, basically, it probably won't work to try to keep your friend from the sadness and isolate yourself. So you have to come up with some other approach to handling it that will work for both of you - a way that you're comfortable talking about it, and living with it, and still having a relationship with your friend. I definitely know how it is when you're depressed and your depression mind is telling you not to do things or say things and it's frustrating and scary and self-defeating and I really sympathize. But I think as long as you're aware that it's something your brain does, and you're trying to deal with it and handle it, and if you can be open with your friend that it's a process you're going through - IMO that goes a long way
I have no idea if that made sense but... yeah
