Need help for a friend.......................
78 Answers
A guy I know, suffers from depression. He occaionally drinks and cant find a decent girlfriend :( When he does, he clings to them like no one else will have him, which is probably what drives the women away.
Anyway, I think that's part of the problem, coz he's so clingy he'll pretty much have anybody at this stage.
I dont know how to help him get over his depression, on top of which I think he's suffering from mid-life crisis too! He's a real mess and cries every now and then.
How do I help him? Also, I think he should find a nice girl for himself, he doesnt want to get out of the house, is there any other way for him to socialize and meet women?

Maybe encouraging him to feel happy in his own skin at the moment and start socializing in a way that he feels comfortable with. If he had interests then he could do something with that. He then could meet comeone who is similar to him!

if you were a useless cow, you'd be a burger, cazz. Now f**k off. Are you fat? You must be as you are clearly hurt by all my earlier posts. Want more KFC?? yum yum
If i leave him alone, he'll cry his head off and go deeper into depression. He might even harm himself or jump out the window. I'm worried about him, as I care for him. I cant get him to see a GP as he lies a lot and may lie about seeing one.

He's a bit weird so I doubt he'll meet someone very similar to him. What he needs is a nice, mature, responsible woman who'll keep him in good spirits and take care of him and the house and drive him around as I dont think he's a very good driver either. She'd have to be a very good cook, no career as she'd have to nurse him 24 hrs a day and finally, she'd have to agree with everything he says, even when he's wrong or being plain stupid. He's very silly in that sense, but if I can find a woman like that for him, they would make a perfect couple.
i dont know why any off us bother. You try to make out that you are caring for this guy but then you come out with stuff like that about cazz.
let the poor chap be, if he doesnt want to see a GP then leave him to it. Be there if he asks for your help but i really cant see that itd help him in any way. He must have someone other than you to turn to

Despite all your help, it is only him who can change. If he is suffering from depression then all the materialistic things and girlfiends will not help.
The best thing you can do is encourage him to seek professional help. Depression is an illness, like prolongued dose of flu, a girlfriend will not cure flu.
It is good that he has you to support him but try not to let him put too much on you... as he may rely on you too much and use you as a crutch.
Once he has been referred to a psychologist and perhaps perscribed some anti depressants, he may see the silver lining on the cloud
