In reply to how supportful are your friends with depression?, posted by fanni on May 27, 2003, at 17:10:44
I am lucky to have friends who have been there;
people who I don't have to cover so much ground
to get them to understand. The understans to short-hand of "brain fog" and "adipin coma".For others I think it is important to tell them
what you need, otherwise they will annoy you, despite trying their best, with the usual "take a walk", "snap out of it" ect. Many just need to know that you want to talk and they just need to listen.I have quit looking for approval from others about my depression.
