        Its not easy dealing with depression- also not easy to deal with somehow who has it If you dont know anything bout it, its really hard to know what to say or to do. And even if you say the right things fate might turn out the same. Please don't blame yourself. You're not at fault

        everybody posting on these keep in mind that while the original story teller may not see your response, there will be many who identify with the post who could benefit from a thread of support they wouldn’t normally see

        If the worst did happen, condolences. It is the most complex kindof loss with no answers, and you are a decent human being for feeling as you do.

        My heart goes out to you and your friend. You supported him the best way you knew how. For anyone who is struggling to have a difficult conversation like this with a friend, the @afspnational #seizetheAwkward campaign is a great resource that can help you know what to say.

        😞 man. This is so sad so real. But if the problem is too big suggesting help was right. It’s scary trying to help. What if you say something that makes them feel worse.

        Don’t blame yourself. He kept things private and as frustrating and painful as it is, you couldn’t have known. As human beings we always see the “what ifs”, but we’re not being rational. The reality is much more complicated. You’re not at fault here. ❤️
