How can I help?
Hey,
A very good friend of mine is becoming increasingly withdrawn. She uploads videos to her Instagram story about depression and even suicide. I would like to help her, but I would find it insensitive to confront her about it. If anyone has any advice for me, I would be happy.
Thanks
“I noticed you deal with depression and suicide. Why?”
What’s insensitive to if it’s a friend? You didn’t secretly read her diary, but she published her themes.
Talking to it is not insensitive, just the opposite! You notice something and want to offer help. That’s great!
But you have to keep paying attention to yourself. If it grows over your head (even the subject of suicide), then look for support from teachers or parents.
