1614. How to help a depressed friend of yours. Some clues
Yesterday, on post #
1613, I wrote about a student of mine, an adult, who doesn’t attend classes anymore.
Today I’ve called him. I’ve said to him that 12:05pm was not a time to stay in
bed. That he ought to rise and do things.
He’s depressed, and the worst enemy
of a depressed person is staying in bed. He says there is flu over there, and
that he has flu. As I said, I told him to get up.
I tried to use my words
tactfully.
Each step he does should be praised.
I also told him to go to his
doctor – in Spain we have a social health system for any person. That doctor
could also tell him things, helpful ones. All this is a summary. Pray for him
and for us, please. We’ve got to win this battle. He's an old person more or less. / Photo from: reading page www
