The thing is that.people who are not angry with life..think that people who are angry or unhappy in or with life are a waste.So philosophically speaking everyone is depressed..
i think Life is depression.
i just feel that it should get over without even i knowing it.that is what hurts the most.that you have to live through it.
philosophy can help one survive..but the truth is depression and none else.
It depends on how you can profit from his/her depression. If your friend is wealthy, then here are few tips:
- you should open some charity organization and convince your friend that she should contribute to it and that will make his/her life worthwhile
- Become a Sant like Ajmeri Baba or Pandit Vhashkar. Setup a call no and tell your friend to call that no. Then, milk him/her dry!!
First try the above two methods. If you get some traction, then I can give you direction on how to proceed.
If you friend is poor, then fck it! Why bother? The world has enough miserable souls...kitnon ko bachayega?
*Depression can range from mild to moderate to severe (even suicidal)...
No one knows what can happen..if it is mild- to-moderate..it may be transient and he may improve with time.
*If it is severe- let others know as soon as possible and make a joint effort with others to do whatever can be done.
If it is mild to moderate...just offer some support and encourage the person (even small things can help)..and suggest that he has a medical/professional evaluation.
You are a caring friend, but- even for a caring person...there are limitations. Once you have offered help and support..there is nothing much you can do. It is very difficult to deal with people who are depressed...it can affect you..so you take care too:)
I can understand...have heard the words you say....way too many times than I ever thought I would, and want to!
"Support"...you mean financial support? emotional support?
Well, I am as independent as it gets (when it comes to both)...but, there have been times in my life when I could not have made it without the support of people who loved and cared...even the richest person in the world needs/needed some kind of support, so you are pretty much like the rest of us (rich and poor!) Welcome to the human club;) And be ready to ask and offer support..when your turn comes to help.
