Sorry if this should be in the frontroom, I just wasn't comfortable with posting this there.

I am not good at long things, so I shall be brief, as I always am.

My girlfriend's parents split up a few months ago, her dad only just moved out 2 weeks ago. That weekend, she had a panic attack. She had her mother and another lady on top of her, but she was convulsing them off. That passed, she was ok the next day. I spent the week worrying. This last weekend, she went down to the coast to get away from the stress and just sleep. Early the saturday morning she tried to overdose on her anti-depression drugs to kill herself. I found this out yesterday. She was calm telling me about it. She had spent the entire morning at the hospital to be checked out. She has worked out a plan to basically stop her last year of school (with only 3 months until we finish) and taking a year off, then not going to university.

Problem is, I'm very worried she will try again, and even if she doesnt, she is depressed and she might stay like that for a while.

My question is however, what should I do to try and get her happy again?


I did not intend this to be a discussion about me, but what people can do to get their friends out of depression.

pever.
