"Coping Skills". Yes, very important. Sometimes people don't realize why they do things.

Or, when it is time to ask for help. And, the people close to her need to be there and open for her when she needs them. {of course, some people look at someone like this as weak and helping them as enabling them...I think they need time to recover and re-learn to take care of themselves}.

I was such a person for someone and when they needed me I did drop what I was doing and helped them {instead of them doing destructive things}. {In AA is this called a sponsor?} Gradually they didn't need me that way but still they need a healthy environment and to keep practicing the coping skills.

I am glad that a lot of people have come out and admitted they have suffered/suffer from depression in one form or another. I can't name them but it helps the public to realize it can happen to anyone and isn't something to be ashamed of.

Unfortunately, in my own personal life I don't know a lot of enlightened people.
