What about my friends?
Friends can help you on levels professionals can’t. For many of us, a friend is the first person we talk to about what’s going on and what we’re going through. They don’t always have the information we need, but our friends can be our biggest supporters when it comes to helping us deal with our struggles.
If you are worried about one of your own friends, take it seriously! Talk to them, listen to what they have to say and be supportive, but remember that your friend may need more help than you can give. If that’s the case, make a phone call for them, or bring them to a counselor.
“Talk to the ones who will support you no matter what. Especially ones that understand you or are dealing with the same situations.”
