Topic	How can I help my friend with depression?
eating4fun 11/26/17 3:45:14 PM #17:	Moonjay posted... With actual depression, it is very literally not up to you what thoughts are in your head. Think positive is the WORST, most annoying advice for someone who is depressed. Sure there's people who actually have brain chemistry imbalance, there's a hell lot of people who are diagnosed with depression and treated with drugs when all they actually need is proper support and counseling. It is annoying because it's the truth. I've been there. There's no helping someone who isn't trying to help himself, even if they're complaining about their issues one way or the other. Imparted wisdom is just useless knowledge unless applied, experienced, and taken to heart. I don't mean just think positively, I mean surround yourself and revel in anything positive. However small and insignificant it can be, it's all useful. --- Your palace may last forever, but my yurt can go anywhere. <cite>eating4fun posted [p:891094105] in How can I ...
