I Need Help About Helping A Friend...

[heydear12]

Hello Guys I haven't been here for some time now, it is good to be back fortunately I am not here seeking help for myself, I have a friend who is in clinical depression and have a serious hearth disease. She had this disease for a long time and combined with depression it has become life threatening. For example if she starts to cry she can't receive enough oxygen to her body and has to be hospitalized. She has been staying in hospital and she started to talk about dying and what a relief it would be. Her situation is highly manageable I just don't want her to stop fighting. I know in depression you see things differently god knows I lived it multiple times and probably live it again in the future. I want to help her of course I am afraid to a make mistake and thus matters worse. I need advise from you guys about how to approach the situation. Thanks for your continuing support.

Since you've been through depression yourself, my advice would be to do what you would want someone to do for you when you're in that state of mind. Be there to listen to her and to do things that you both like together, etc.
