ok ..... one of my relatives (i dont want to say who) is like, in depression..shes sad all the time and she tells me why, and i dunt kno how to help her. so she makes me cry alot too. its gettin serious now, i dunno what to do anymore. she dosnt wanna take medicine or anythin..and she wont go to da doctors either .. i need help .. wht should i do now? i dun want her to hurt hurself

someone move this to xanga help, jk


give me her msn or email, none of my friends are ever sad, and they say i am smoooth, and i can make any one happy, let me do the honor.

no its like, a family member .... like an old one lol .. so yea ..

me, i would take him/her to church.

No, she is doesn't get along well with the ppl at church .. aiya i dont know what to do

you should really talk to her and tell her how serious it is...and give her a real live example of what could happen if she doesn't seek help....that is one way to help her go to the doctor...or just keep talking her into going

Ask the reason. Keep asking incessantly until they tell you. Then, say oh, _______YOUR SOLUTION HERE_________. and steer her to a psychologist.

I know the reason n stuff .. ma family tryz to help her but she just wont listen .... she thinks she doesnt need da psychiatrist or somethin but she does and she doesnt know dat no matter how much we tell her .. it just gets her mad

let me talk to her, like i said no girl is sad after they have a nice and long convo with me.

Get a doctor that does house calls.
Or have a preist go over to your house.

just love her!

show her that you love her and you don't want her to get hurt

let her know how this is affectin' you let her know u love her/him...and that... you care for him/her.. .and that u only want the best for her/him... and try to open her mind up...about the doctor...thing and medicine... don't force her, or rather tell her/him he/she has to...but rather...just have her/him keep it as an option... then spend time with her/hm.. .. to let him/her know ur there...

ish koo everything will be alright!!!!

i think u should tell her that u'll be there for her no matter what but if she doesnt do anything like the things u suggested then this depression isnt gonna go anywhere but jus get more depressed... ask her, u wanna be happier or not? cuz if u wanna be happier then do something about it. goodluck!

I went through a period of depression myself and told no one.
Basically I cried every day, every hour, and frankly i was afraid of telling someone

I thought that they would put me in some institution and I didnt want to spend my life wasting away.
But I gradually got better, just by being surrounded by happy people.
My friends told me trivial things that made me laugh and it was a very simple recovery.

It's different for every person, but =] just giving you a different perspective

depending on how bad the problem is, if u can, as much as possible try to gain her trust before doing anything......then try and steer her towards professional help

oooOoOh feeling depression!! THATS NOT GOOD!! u kno... hmm i duno...im thinkin bad thoughts right now...heh but... u knoe... make her think scary thoughts.... and tell her stuff like... "jus think about ur future...think about ur kids wen u grow up... think about ur goals... u neba kno... u might have wonderful kids... and they might become famous.... and also u might become famous in the future..." or u can say "u kno...if u leave...there will be ppls crying for u...and they will miss u for sure...it will hurt our heart".... if that dont help... then "u kno u are the greatest person in my life... and i want u to be healthy... i dont want u to be all depressed... i can help u..jus tell me wat to do to make u stop being depression cus i can help cus im one of ur relatives and u kno that"...heh hope that works^^
