Re: Helping with girlfriends depression - January 9th 2015, 02:00 PM

As someone who deals with depression on a daily basis, as well, there isn't much you can do to "cheer her up". It's all on her. Being there for her, making sure she has a shoulder to cry on when needed, an ear that will listen when needed, is basically all you can do. In order to work through depression, she has to WANT to get better. With medication, that will help, but she has to have the mindset to battle the disease. It's not easy.

It's great that you're willing to work with her through this. Not many people would have the strength to do so. You're very brave.

Best of luck!
