I’ll learn this for you babe. My girlfriend struggles with depression and anxiety. I’m trying my best to understand how to help her. I just want her to have a happy life that she deserves❤️

[jordanespinozaramirez]

I watch this to help my girlfriend
I know I can’t fix her, but I love her so much. We’re at a distance because of your busy work schedules. But I want to be there for her, make here feel like she has someone by her. I’ve found comfort in that’s I’m not alone and that this relates to a lot of people. To anyone that reads this, be proud of yourself that you want to help your loved one. I love my girlfriend so much, I can’t say that enough!!!

[PapiBooBoo]

In case no one told you today: You’re beautiful. You’re loved. You’re needed. You’re alive for a reason. You’re stronger than you think. You’re going to get through this. I’m glad you’re alive. Don’t give up

[lexjanssens]

To the people who search this stuff, you guys are helping so much!!❤️

27/4/2021....i don't know if I'll come back to this later or not, but I'm doing my best A.M i promise trying to learn how you feel and I'm trying to figure out what to say to help you feel better and to help you realize that no you're NOT a burden....and you're everything i ever asked for 🖤

[hazelcm]

Watching this for my man. You deserve the world baby. You deserve to be loved ...through it all.

[sheco]

my bf was about to kill himself yesterday and there was a huge distance between us I couldn't reach him or do anything but just calling his brother, thankfully his family arrived in time and since yesterday more I think about it more I feel destroyed and soooo sad. whenever you have those thoughts please always remember there's many many people who cares about you (even if you think there's no one) it's just a huge blind moment and you all TRUST ME more stronger than what you think! also for those who supporting them it's true that we shouldn't forget about ourselves so we can help them in the other hand. stay safe please!

My bestie is diagnosed with depression since she was 11, her parents are abusive and always tell her that shes not enough. I love her and will try to help her❤️

[Niqua]

I'm happy to find this. Finding out my loved one had problems like this can put a big toll on you sometimes. I do care for him and all the stuff he been though and poor decisions in life he made permanent and minor. If we can set healthy boundaries. I feel like he just forced himself to do things you don't want to do but you can be hard on anyone and I want him to do better with us as a family instead of trying to impress others.

I want to help myself and my mother with depression. I’ve been trying to work on mine but I know God has our back and I have one good friend that has helped me be educated on our father. Bless her heart! ❤️🙏

[kbella-qhgg]

I am watching this for my dearest one, my boyfriend. He is such a pure soul, he deserves the world... Love you babe..

[dopestweirdo]

I'm watching this right now cause my ex crush who is now my friend is going through a hard time from a recent abusive relationship. I wanna help her as much as I can as she was there for me a few years ago, it's my time to be there for her 😊

[moco_jojo_]

it's deflating that people know and just don't feel I'm worth attempting to help. every hour is a battle. people who know me personally seem to care the least about me. I actively follow the online advice and it all just feels like a prank. fighting depression is insanity when you don't have a real support system of people who see you as a person and not a burden, client, or obstacle.

[exolforever]

I am watching this to help my mom. She is not suicidal yet but it looks on outside that she is fine but she is not . I see her crying every night due to my parents problems at workplace . She jokes like a normal person but when I see it clearly she is not happy or she is trying to be happy . She tells me that she wants to runaway to a place where nobody can find her . She keeps on insisting that she is worthless and useless. I myself had a mild experience with depression but I was able to recover very easily as it had started due to my study pressure and it took me about 2-3 weeks to get out of it . But she is suffering from it since a long time. When she was young her family used to call her fat and till now even if she is in completely healthy cataegory she keeps on saying she is fat and ugly . And I really don't know how to help her because she doesn't want to share her problems with me or anyone. I have been trying to get her to talk to me but everytime she just says that I am too young to know all the things. She doesn't want to talk to somebody else also . Please if any of you have a similar experience or know how I can help her please do tell me.

Beloveds watching right now and those that are already finished are really worthy of love as well. I, too, am gonna do my best for my one and only best friend forever who’s a sister to me. I am gonna be professional clinical psychologist after having MD as a title too. I’m gonna make all of this and you will see it happen. Me, my sissy, the audience and their love ones to be helped are gonna be alright someday. I am rooting for everyone’s tranquility.

Love,
a future licensed medical doctor and a clinical psychologist/therapist

Being there by spending time with, loving someone and offering them extra support by trying to talk to them can also help someone that has any form of any type of depression.
