I found out the other day one of my best friends is currently off work with depression. I had no idea.
She told me that the hardest thing was telling friends and family because many of them have started to treat her differently, a bit like with kid gloves. I don't have much experience with depression but I just told her that I'm always here for her day and night if she wants to chat about anything, and then we just talked as normal on Whats App for hours.
