what the F am i supposed to do with my friend.
I (20) have a friend (23) that’s depressed. has been entire time i’ve know him. I also have my mental health issues and have been on my road to recovery, he is not.
he is stuck. he doesnt want to be unstuck. refuses help. hates when people care about him, think about him, anything. always turns me down by saying “you dont need to stress about me, im good”. im not stressing anymore. im past that point. but im bored of our fucking conversations always being about the same shit as you dont do anything but game at home.
we cant even watch movies or shows, everything triggers him. watched Severance, his mind went crazy with the whole severed idea. he wanted it to be real, etc. watched Breaking Bad, “its just the perfect scenario, dying of cancer instead of me doing it myself”. HOLY FUCK.
im understanding, i know what mental illness does to you, hes been my best friend for years, but as something who is trying to live, idk how much longer i can hold on to a person trying to hard to die.
