A really close friend of mine is depressed
and is on medication and seeking help, but
some days it is really bad and lately it
seems he is more depressed than usual. I
know things have been rough for him but he
turns into this huge jerk when he gets
really low. Than he'll drink and be a
complete problem. I really care for him
and want to be able to talk to him and
help him when he's upset. He wants to
yell and take things out on me but I don't
want our friendship to end, we've had so
many good times and I think he needs a
friend now more than ever.
How do I console someone who is depressed?
What do I say when he rambles on about
hating everything and everyone? I try to
approach cautiously but I never know what
to say. I don't want my friend to
overreact and do something crazy. How do
I talk him down when he's in that really
bad place??
I need to know how to deal with his
negativity. Please help!!!
