Welcome to Gaia! ::

My best friend, I won't say her name for her sake but she has an account on this website and I was visiting her profile and, not to be creepy or weird (if you count this as 'weird or creepy') but I looked at her last forum post and she was responding to one other girl's post.

She said likes among the line of, "I know how you feel, I have a cycle of happiness, anger, and annoyance then goes back to bad depression." or "I don't talk because I don't want to screw up" and "I've had suicidal thoughts before". I really want to help her! I've been depressed before, and I don't want her to go down that same road I've been down. She told me that she's been depressed almost her whole life. Know what I said? "Oh, I've been depressed before." I said nothing about it after that, I didn't even think of what she'd feel.

Do you know anything I can do to help her? Yes, she is a Christian, but I rarely thought of God and swore a lot when I was depressed, and I don't want her to have a bad relationship with God. Please help me!!!! crying

keep praying for her and find a way to connect with her where she's at and without going all "religious" on her tell her that there's someone who loves her and that there's so much more than what she's living for. So much to live for. someone who won't let her go no matter how bad the pain is. and share what God has done to help you.

that's my advice

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heart heart heart heart
