Basically me and Lisa have been friends since we were like,8.
we always see each other because we're both born into Christian families and we pray together on Sundays and go to Church camps etc and it's great.
but recently, shes become depressed.
like really depressed and negative.
since leaving school and going to college, she's changed in a bad way.
although she's always been shy and a little awkward and somewhat dorky,
she used to be optimistic and happy and REALLY funny. and nice to be around.
her mum said that she didn't fit in and was bullied or something and had some kind of anxiety attack in class.
she hasn't gone back to college since and she is now depressed,scared,miserble and sort of traumatised!
she sees a shrink about her depression and anxiety.
she just doesnt believe shes worth anything and has no hopes for the future and just hates herself.
which is so sad..
Anywayy,so we still hung out regulary like every month we'd go see a movie or shop.
one day we went to the mall to see a movie, and she was extra sombre and kept wanting to "just sit down" instead of like,
checking out a store or something.
and she talked about how she felt like nobody cares and stuff and nobody understands and how her mum doesnt get it and stuff.
I SERIOUSLY think I did the wrong thing because instead of comforting her I just didnt know how to react so I was just trying
to lighten the mood and be cheerful and I was like hey you're gonna be fine lets just go get ice cream!
I think I should of actually sat and listened to her and stuff!
And I was even like,hey lets take silly pictures in that photobooth! (lol!)
I think that was the LAST thing she wanted!
she was like no I don't want to!
and then she said she's leaving cause her head hurts.
she said she doesn't want any friends or doesnt want to talk to me or something along those lines as she left.
she also said something like she doesn't understand why anyone would want to be her friend.
she hasn't spoken to me at ALL since and it's been about 7 months!!(that was Christmas!)
I miss her so much and just want to get her back...please give me some advise!
