Hello friends,
I'm faced with a dillemma, and I thought that there would be no better place to recieve good feedback than from here.
My best friend's brother was diagnosed with depression after a suicide attempt last week. I went through the same thing a year ago. I'm not great friends with him, but have known him for almost 15 years.
I want to write him a letter to tell him that he can call me for advice on anything or for someone who understands what he's going through. It was so hard for me those first few months after being diagnosed and facing the guilt of a suicide attempt, and a co-worker with depression reached out for me and wrote me a letter. I felt so relieved to know that there was someone there who understood my feelings.
Do you think I should write him a letter? Would I be over-stepping my boundaries and making things worse?
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!
