[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 133199"] Jo - It's so hard to know what to do. I don't know that there is a right answer. As a person who's dealt with depression, I don't think I can give you any really solid advice on how to handle this. I know when I was in that state, there was nothing that could be said or done by anyone and sometimes the smallest things would set me off. I think the best thing you can do is what you're doing. Let her know you are there for her, but don't smother, but do keep a close eye on things. It's a fine line, I know. I wonder now, though, if this played a part in her being in such a hurry to move in with boyfriend. Depression like that makes one feel like s/he is living in survival mode...struggling to keep one's head above water. The decisions one makes during that time are pretty indicative of that...searching desperately for that one thing to cling to that is going to 'make everything ok'. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
