"I'm really sorry to hear that. If you want to talk, I'm available."

The best thing you can do is show them that their voices aren't going unheard. I've only posted about my issues when things have been really bad and I'm feeling terribly alone. If your friends are similar, just showing them that you're around and you care is all they really need.

(For the record, the worst thing you can do is pay attention to all their fandom posts/tweets/whatever and then ignore the ones pertaining to their issues. The second-worst thing you can do is say something like, "I wish I knew how you felt!")

"I'm really sorry to hear that. If you want to talk, I'm available."

Also? Listen carefully and try to see their perspective. A lot of what's hard for someone with "issues" might seem easy and natural for you. They'll also probably be rather self-conscious about it.

But seriously, I'd much rather have advice from someone who is NOT as fucked up as I am, it kinda defeats the point.

Except if you try to be supportive or suggest solutions to their issues, they never answer and never seem to acknowledge it. Basically nothing seems to help.

I've had many people like that on my f-list, and after a while I just stopped trying. I've had to deal with depression in my family and the lesson I took from it is that you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped, they'll just try to drown you with them.
