Hi all. jst need a bit of advice really. i have a very close relationship with a friend we have been seeing each other for about a year. she made me aware of her depression early on and iv always tried to support her and give her the true lov that she really deserves. on a good day shes the greatest person ever and we have such a lught together but recently shes had a real bad relapse and i havnt heard from her in weeks. she did call 2 wks back to say hi and thanks for a gift i sent her but otherwise for several wks she doesnt answer my phone calls or txts.
all i want is to be there for her i cant imagine wot she is goin thru and no it must be hard but how can i convince her that im here for her n that she can rely on me and trust me. shes had real tough life being let dwn time and time again but how do i show that im not gna let her dwn. thing is wen she is well she tells me that iv been the only person she can trust n only person that makes her feel good about herself so why am i getting pushed away? i probably sound selfish n sond like im thinking of myself but im not im worrid sick about her, havent slept for weeks dnt feel like going to work or doin anything, really miss her and dnt no wot to do. any advice would be much appreciated. regards

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
First you've got to make sure you are not sliding into a depression.
Besides serious depression my bet is she's scared to death to trust or love.
I used to run, find a reason to go away and hide cuz I did not know how to act when someone cared for me...really cared.
I'll say my prayers for both of you...God is the only one who helped me get past all the garbage!
go visit her and take her out. Do not ask her were probably she doesn't feel to go anywhere but you tell her you alrady have a special place to go to walk or eat, drink something or just to be outside talking. Wait for her to get dress even sugest her what to put on the day. beleveme she might not have the energy not even for that. DO NOT ASK her to dicide where to go, what does she feel like doing. If after all your efort she deside to stay home, be there with her in silence if she wants and tomorrrow be there again, I know sounds
goofy, but if you realy care for her do nat give up, befause she might give up on leaving and I am sure you do not want that. Hope what I said help you, been depress, like I'm now it is what I would like some one will do for me.
