Hello All!

I have a friend, and she is very dear to me. Lately she has become very depressed and thinks life isn't worth living (she's not suicidal) and that there is nothing to look forward too, etc. So she has pretty much given up. I think this has happened because she is nearing the end of her university degree and is not sure what she wants to do and is scared she will end up doing something she doesn't want to do, etc... and also she has had many boyfriends, but cant seem to find the one that excites her, inspires her, etc. There are quite a few more reasons, but I wont get in to everything.

I've tried on many occasions, to show her good qualities, her talents, how good she makes me feel, and so on... because she really is such a great person! But whatever i say, just doesn't seem to do the trick, and she doesn't seem to believe it or take it on board. Everything i have said to her, has been truly genuine and from my heart. So now I don't know what to do, and I refuse to give up.

Does anyone know what I should do? I really need to show her she is a great person and she does have so much to look forward to. I'm sorry if this is a big ask... but I'm hoping someone out there has experienced a similar situation with a friend/family member or someone. Oh and also, please don't suggest that she should see a professional.. as I would like to explore every other avenue first.

Thanks so very much.

Regards,
Jim
