XxepicwinxX (09/22/2015) [-] Everyone's different, but here's my story.
My mother has had severe depression basically since I was born, I feel the best way to deal with it is to stay as close to them as possible, whilst acting as normal as possible, if you know what I mean. Having depression makes you feel like it's you against the world, and nobody can battle it alone, you need to show her that you're there for her, no matter what, show her that you truly care about her and her wellbeing. Whatever you do, don't sort of over do it, like constantly asking if she's ok, if she needs anything etc, just be there, as a sort of sponge,someone she can just talk to when she needs it. it's not easy to open up to anyone if you have depression, so understand that she probably won't tell you her true feelings, unless she really, REALLY trusts you, it would also help to read up on it, learn about it so you know how to gauge how she's feeling, how to deal with it and how to help her out in the long run.
Feel free to PM me if you want to chat about it or know more, i'm happy to help someone in a similar situation to me.

fatminion (09/22/2015) [-] I just don't talk about depression with my friends who have it. When they're feeling down and need/want to talk, they will, and I just listen. Trying to offer help and talk about it all the time is a bad idea.
What did the ****** say to the jew?
Give me all your money!
What did the Jew say to the ****** ?
that's my boy!

retardeddinosaur (09/22/2015) [-] I have severe suicidal depression since i lost my family, and most of my friends last christmas .Been going on a downwards spirale with drugs and **** ever sience.
But **** me, ill be fin.
The key is to not leave person for too long on his/her own, and just try and maybe even push the person out of there comfort zone ,into doing something fun .
But most importantly ,do not leave/abandon the person.

assrocket (09/22/2015) [-] My friend has bad depression and she told me she feels better around other people. So we hang out whenever we can. Or we text if I'm busy with work or something.

Abortedwafflez (09/21/2015) [-] Try to hang out with her and talk with her just normally. Maybe try some fun activities to do like a trampoline park or something similar. Don't be too pushy because then she won't tell you what's wrong. Avoid talking about what is making her sad unless she herself mentions it. Avoid sad subjects altogether. If you feel like she is at her breaking point, lay everything out on the table and hope that she will talk. That is a last resort though. Just try and be a good friend.

mangosprinkle (09/21/2015) [-] From experience with having a friend with depression the best you can do right now is just keep close tracks of her moods, figure out when shes feeling down and use your judgement to think if she wants to be around anyone or not. Make sure she knows you're there to help if she wants ,however, don't be too nosy and pushy about it, they'll tell you when they feel comfortable with it. This is just my experience so it could be different, but hope this helps anyways
