I have known this person (F27) for some time and last spring she started to become a little dull and sad, then on July 1st she was diagnosed with clinical depression. I know that she has a hard life, she’s 27 and lives with her dad, she gave birth at 17, she struggled with alcohol, her daughter lives separately from her, she was married two times and she had an abusive boyfriend. Recently she seemed to get better, she stopped drinking, dumped her boyfriend and even started taking antidepressants again. She seemed more happier and more active, she used to have trouble sleeping but now she started going to sleep at 9-11 and started waking up at 7 or 8 in the morning. But recently she started having trouble sleeping again and stopped taking antidepressants, she seemed to have hit a rough patch. But a couple days ago we were at a party and she got really drunk and did some dum things. I was mad at her and may have took it a lot more seriously than I should have. I realised my mistake and apologise to her but she was really sad. She told me that she has bad thoughts and can’t get rid of them. Me and how she broke after 9 months sober made her really sad up and these things might have broken the camels back. I know that she is applying to a college because she wants to get a second high degree, last year she failed and this year the competition is even higher, there are only 3 free places and there are 19 people who are applying. If she doesn’t apply I’m afraid what will happen. I want to help her but idk how, can anyone help me?
