Hi, guys, how are you?
I joined the platform here because I would like to get the opinion of other people, especially people who have already dealt or are dealing with depression.
I have a friend who is going through a depression crisis again, and since we live far away, we talk online every day. But now he is feeling very exhausted, sleeping a lot, not wanting to talk or go out.
I really enjoy talking to him and I'm really worried, so I keep texting him about music or daily stuff, asking how things are going (even though I know I'm sounding repetitive and the answer will be the same)
Sometimes I don't know if I should bring up something, because we've barely spoken in the last few days. I'm afraid that if I talk about my daily life or how things are going, it will sound like I don't care that much about his problem or that I will make him more depressed. But just talking about the problem sounds exhausting to him too.
Sometimes I think about sending more messages, suggesting more music and such, but I'm afraid that it sounds like I'm pressuring him to respond. But I don't care if he answers quickly or not, I just want to be able to show that I'm there and remember him.
If you have ever had a crisis where you wanted to isolate yourself from everything and everyone, how would you like me to act in this situation?
