A friend who's suffering
Depression Support / by BryanM99

...See more Hi - i'd really appreciate your advice if you have any.  A friend reached out today and they're really suffering.  They used the words 'crippling depression', 'no way out' and 'going on for years'.  They're struggling to work, go to the shops and basically get through the day.  They said that their doctor isn't really providing the help that they feel they need and, in any event, it's not working.  I got the sense that they just wanted me to know what they're going through rather than 'fix it'.  But I was just wondering what you thought it terms of the support that I should be offering.

...See more Hi There - I'm a new member (only a few days) and have found this site a great support. I've been in a major work crisis for a few months now and it's been (and continues to be) a very stressful rollercoaster. I've learnt a lot about myself and how I want to 'be' in the future but the future hasn't arrived yet and I'm still coping with the hurricane. I've been meditating, writing and trying to care for myself as best I can. But it's hard. I don't think I'm necessarily getting the most out of 7cups as I could so any support, both in general and with respect to maximising the support that 7cups can give me, would be appreciated. Thank you all.
