A female South Africa age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi guys, here's the thing. My best friend is sinking into very heavy depression. She suffered through the death of both her parents and her siblings, and together we've been through deaths of our friends too. Her life has been hell. Recently she tried getting custody of her nieces and was rejected. She's cut herself off from everyone and all I have heard from her is that she is planning on moving and selling the house... I can't stand seeing her like this. What can I do to help my friend? I am very worried about her!

Hi. I suffered after the death of my father through cancer a couple of years ago. My mood changed and i started to cut myself off from my friends and family also. I decided to turn to religion and found great relief and comfort in it. I also started taking St John,s Wort which is a natural herbal anti-depressent and have not looked back since. It was hard but the way i looked at things after the anger and sorrow subsides is that my father wouldn,t want me suffering and would want me to get on and enjoy my life which i,m now doing. My advice is to just keep in touch with your friend daily and offer a shoulder to lean on. She has been through alot and my thoughts are with her.
