So one of my good friends is always like... "oh I cry myself to sleep, I cry in the shower, I cry at home" and blah and then she says "I've been crying for a long time now" and it seems like she wants us to think she has depression or something.

I don't know if it's me being insensitive towards her but like whenever she's upset I'd always send her massive paragraphs on how much she means to me and stuff and when it's me who's upset she's just "same" and starts ranting about her problems

Idk if that's me being harsh but idk

oml

I've been experiencing the same thing, an online friend, whom i've only met for a week now, just confessed to me, but when I told him there was already someone else I liked (technically true. 2d people and mafumafu if u know what i mean wink wink) and I couldn't return the same feelings, he started threatening me telling me he would suicide and cut himself.

I've reported it to my friends and they seriously think I ruined him LOL

but anyhoo, I've been too nice to people

I try comforting them, and I always try to tell them that I care deeply for them, and if they behave like they do I get upset.

When dealing with depressed people, I don't know what to say. Telling jokes is also a bad idea, as well as sending them memes

Actually...

I was sorta like that back in 5th grade.

My best friend comforted me, but it was never enough.

At one point she got pissed off and showed me a Jaiden Animations video about being in toxic relationships... she clearly wanted to tell me that I'm guilt tripping her and being a huge donkey to all my friends. I was extremely apologetic to her for the next few days because I felt so bad and I didn't want to lose my only friend (well.. everyone in my friend group).

I admit that I said things like "mmm I may have depression..." "I've been crying myself to sleep" and stuff like that.

In reality, I probably did. I was bullied literally everyday... every minute... every second... I was actually considering {death} and nearly tried to. She wasn't bullied. She didn't care THAT much since she was close friends with my bullies. I would rant about how my school was useless and how my friends weren't the best people but this is about you.

What I'm trying to say is...

1. She may actually be upset/depressed. If you really want to be serious, ask her to talk to her doctor or something if you can't help her much. Maybe send a few links or numbers for therapy?

2. Discuss it with her (the problems like her ignoring your needs). It'll *probably* help. I tried it with a friend and we were pretty chill about it :D

3. Just support her without much effort (The long paragraphs and other things). Just be a good friend and ask questions to see if she's okay. Send wholesome memes like Shark said.

Y'know its time to go if this is a phase or some thing where they fake a mental illness.
