I need help with new ways to help.

Okay so I’ve got some questions.

Someone close to me is struggling with depression and I have turned here because this is what I used.

Is there any strategies I can use to help them because I’ve run out of things that helped me and need some help finding new ways to try to prevent or lessen the pain of his struggles.

thanks so much

xx

@notefornote listen to them, just tell them to tell you everything they are dealing with and all their problems. I don't know if they are religious or not but it they are just remind them that god has better plans for them. Ask them if they are at rock bottom. If they say yes tell them well from now on the only way is up and everything will get better. Also spend time with them talk to them do things with them that they enjoy. Hope that helps
