CHEERING UP A FRIEND WHO IS REALLY DOWN.

After reading Mog's latest Facebook update and the ensuing drama, I respectfully ask all of you to avoid relationship advice from him in the future.
This legitimately made me smile.
Yah, I'm goin through some shit!
I admit it was a major faux pas when I called my girlfriend a 'brah' on a public Facebook drama fest.

Ok... That for whatever reason made me giggle... So sorry...

Do something with them that they used to really like to do. Don't let them say no.
...probably got off track because the best advice (for now, based on what we know) has been posted. :)
So I wrote a wall of text telling my friend how I felt and asked her what was the deal. Best decision I made. Thanks guys. I didn't follow all of your advices, but I had the courage to confront her with help to some of the responses. I know that I won't find a perfect solution on a forum, necessarily, but sometimes just people's advice just helps as encouragement.

Unfortunately, telepathy isn't real so you can't get into their head without them letting you in. If you really care, the only thing you can do is be there for them. They may say "I just need some space" but that's bull. Most people that say that they want to be alone, say so because they feel that they *deserve* to be alone. Even if you don't do anything, just be there. Sit there in silence, if need be. That wall will come down, eventually.
I know this is kinda weird for me to say, considering the fact that I'm working on a doctorate in Psych but most people don't even need therapy: they just need a real friend. Unfortunately, most people these days don't even know what a real friend is, so they have to pay for someone to listen to them.

I haven't been feeling well myself lately. So I can tell you that simply doing things with them and talking is a good good start. While you're doing things with other people, they can feel normal during the time you spend with them. Eventually the blight of sadness goes away on its own.
I agree with Kindredz, but I don't think you need a degree in Psych to know that being with other friends will typically help whatever problem it is.
