Depressed .

Today my friend just told me that she is depressed , and has been depressed for a couple of years. i found it really hard to believe because she would have been the last person i expected to be depressed. But she came to me asking for help , because she doesnt want to be depressed anymore and i want to help her , but i dont know what i should tell her , can anyone help ?

thank you !

First, dont feel bad that you didnt notice....alot of times someone that depressed hides it in fake smiles and laughs....they dont want to worry anyone.....all you can do is listen....let her vent when she needs you....be the friend that she knows you are. Sometimes letting her know shes not alone makes the world of a difference....and remember you dont have to do this all on your own...be patient and dont give up on her...because in her eyes that would probably be the worst thing you can do....if you need help or more advice you can pm me. good luck....

Thank you

Yeah i gueess you are right , well thank you !

It's is a good thing that your friend tells you that she is depressed,it's really a good point,it shows clearly that she really trusts you.

For sure,there are reasons of your friend's depression,try to help her to find out why she is depressed,listen to her,and give her some piece of advice,and let her know that you'll be always there for her.

Well since the day she told me , it hasnt really been brought up again , i just treated her like how i would if she hadnt told me about her depression. and i guess she makes is easier because shes kinda the clown of the group .. so i guess thats also why i found it so hard to believe .
