The precious moment when you see a depressed person smile

[Against_the_current]

Yesterday my friend said she overreacted, i also said I will be careful, and she called me to meet her friend who just got out of the mental hospital and is really depressed. We were making sushi and he was kinda active then he layed on her bed and looked hopeless. Gave him some time in case he was overwhelmed and i checked up on him. His depression was hitting. He started getting depressed thoughts. Said "If u want to talk i'm here, If not too". He had thoughts of being scared of ending up at the hospital again. Snapped out of it. Then had thoughts of why isn't depression cured. Talked to him but also wanted to go out of the theme. I got a stuffed frog and said it jumped on him. He said it's not a frog, it's a turtle ninja. But it had no shell so it was a frog. My friend gave us teddy bears and we played with them. So precious seeing him smile.

My friend said that he said If i wasn't interacting he would just zone out and go home. So precious

I know my trauma makes me act like a monster but i'm actually a softie

Being able to help someone else is a gift to them and to yourself. Hold onto that feeling.
