depression help: i’m worried about my mom.

This post left anonymously

i’m worried about my mom.

she admits that she’s depressed. she hasn’t been to work in over a week, and she doesn’t plan on going tomorrow either. she’s on depression medicine, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. i’m worried that she’s going to lose her job, and we’ll lose our house again. anything i can say or do to help? or is it beyond my control?

Ask her to make a plan. If she can’t handle going back to work she has to have some kind of a plan.

Help me with: How depressed are you on a scale of one to ten with ten being almost dead and one being haveing a smile on your face presently.
