One of my best mates has recently been suffering from depression, things have been bad for a while but when she broke up with her boyfriend it all came to a head and she tried to kill herself. She leaned on him alot and now he's not there and she has to face it herself. We try to be there for her but we just dont know what to do. Shes on anti depressants and goes to counselling but i just dont know what we can do for her. Its not just a case of cheering her up and she doesn't want sympathy but its very hard to just act normal around her. She seems to have gotten worse over the last week and she's convinced herself that she cant get through this and wont get better. I'm so worried that she's going to try and kill herself again.
I was just wondering if there's anyone with any experience of this who can give some advice?
