Hey guys....I'm new here so please forgive me cuz I have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I found this site while searching "Christain treatment for depression" I wasn't really planning on joining any type of a forum like this...but I was getting desperate to find some sort of help. See I have a friend who struggles with depression and cutting and I don't really know where to turn because he won't get help and it's killing me bc he exspects me to be his cure and I'm nowhere near strong enough to do that... I told him I couldn't give him the help he needed but he doesn't wanna listen... he's placing all of his burdens on me and I can't take it anymore bc instead of me building him up, he's tearing me down bc I used to (and still do occationally) struggle with the same thing...and everytime I talk to him he makes me wanna go back to my old life and I don't know what to do cuz I can't talk to my mom about it....she thinks I'm over my state of depression....and if she finds out I'm not, she's gonna scream at me for it...please help me... idk where else to turn at this point...I have no one I can talk 2...I used to share these kinda things with my youth Pastor but then he moved away.... I'm not trying to ask for sympathy, its just I need advice on what to do...
