I want to

[youneverwalkalone]

I really want my friend to know that he's not alone and there are many people who cares but how can I do that? i know that he's not feeling that great but I really want him to be happy and it hurts me when he breaks down

Hey. Sorry you feeling this way and that your friends not doing so great. I really bad at talking to new people but I'll talk to your friend if it'll help we can do it together so he knows his not alone. Sometimes even when your around people you still feel alone I get that way at times but it's nice to think it's possible to feel more. Maybe your friend can join us here and everyone can help him I know it's easier said than done but I do hope your friend gets better

My heart still aches about your friend from what you said last night. I have so much sympathy for those who self harm.

Did you know that studies show 350 MILLION people suffer from depression? That's about 5% of the entire world... And that's only a study, those are only the people who admit to having depression. There are so many silent sufferers, myself included for a very long time. I also read that about 10% of Americans suffer from depression. Again, that's not including those who hide their struggles.

His parents and other friends might not understand or sympathise or he might just be too worried to tell them, but he can reach out in other places. The people here have offered so many helpful advices to me and so much support when I couldn't get it from my loved ones and I hope he finds that somewhere. Good luck changing his mind! If it's not too weird to offer, I would totally be willing to chat with him.
