Help! I'm worried about my friend! She's depressed and anxious!?
Question:
Answers:
I am sorry that your friend is having such a bad time of it. Can you tell, from talking with her, if she is still able to communicate to you in a way that makes sense? I mean, if she is not talking nonsense, like about things that make no sense to you, then there is probably much hope for her recovery. Is she aware of what she is doing to herself? These types of behaviors can be caused by real mental and physical problems. They can also be caused by the persons reaction to the conversation that they are having with their self. Have you been able to talk to her enough to find out if this is a mental health issue, where she does not know why this is happening, or if it is a mental health issue that is being created by herself, based on her thinking? You said she hates herself. She must, obviously, be very depressed. Depression can be caused by physical abnormalities in our body, or it can be caused as a reaction to a very negative conversation that we are having with our self. In her condition, she may not be capable of taking care of the problem, or even want to recognize that she needs help. She will, eventually, be very thankful to have a friend as wonderful as you are. Helping her to get the professional medical/mental help that she needs is probably your best bet right now. I hope I have helped in some little way.
the medication is not working or she is not taking it. if possible stay with her for awhile and make sure she is taking it. have her volunteer at a shelter, many people have found that seeing others who suffer causes them to move their feelings from themselves and develop the need to help others less fortunate.
Her anxiousness may be due to a post traumatic stress syndrome or even something more serious than that. For many years I have suffered from panic attacks and did not even know what it was until I was diagnosed be a competent MD. Tell your friend that it is not the end of the world that she admit there is a problem and to seek professional help. Through medication and proper medical help she may get better. I have been on an anti-depressant for over 19 years since my husband passed away. The most important thing about the meds is that you must stick with it. At first, it will seem as though it is not working, but, after two or three weeks, it will kick in. Make sure she tells the doctor she does not want to be put on a med that will promote any weight gain. I will pray for her. God Bless
hello there. Im sorry to hear about your friend. Have you tryed anything at all to get her confidence up?What i would first start out doing is sit down with her and ask her exactly whats on her mind and how she feels and if she brings up alot of negative say alot of poistive things such as "we sure did have alot of fun last time we were out or your the best friend i could ever have" just little things like that with time can ease up anyones pressure. Now i dont know how old you or your friend is but perhaps you could just have a play day or a fun day where you just hang out and bring up the good times in the past and try to show her how beautiful she really is and that "we should go to the park or get our hair done together"just anything fun . It is going to take a while for your friend to get out of this depression but i think the most a best friend could do is just be there for her and be nothing but positive with her and let her know that no matter what you will always be there for her. I hope this help some.
