So my best friend is going through a depression and I don't know what to so. So last year she lost her nephew who she was very close with and was only 2yrs old and this is where this whole thing started. It was really hard for her to get over it and the thing was that her nephew had a twin sister who kept reminding her about her nephew. Finally she got over it but then she started having some family problems. There was some dispute between her dad and her uncle. In middle of all this, last month she got to know her mom had cancer. She has become the worst now. We in the last year of our school and I had to change my school this year, which already made her sad and top of it getting the news of her mom made it even worse. Now she keeps saying that she doesn't want to talk about her problems cause she thinks she'll ruin my mood. She feels that we should just vent out all of our pain and she should be the one experiencing all the pain and we should remain happy. She has lost hope. She is a single child so is very close with her parents and after this news, her family is not the same anymore. She has to force herself to smile and laugh. Her family has become distant. If I tell her to try to be positive, she says that if she is positive, she'll get hopes which are just gonna shatter and disappoint her in the end.
Now I'm really clueless on how to help her. I can't even tell her parents about it cause even they're going through a bad phase

Be there for her. Just from this post, I can see she means a lot to you and you genuinely care about her wellbeing. That's a great first step. Continue to show up as much as you can for her even at a distance. That being said, do as much as you mentally can handle. Trying to take care of someone (as horrible as it may sound) can be emotionally exhausting and only strain your relationship with her. Encourage her to talk to a school guidance counselor if things stay bad. If her moods worsen and you start to worry about her safety, please reach out to her family to bring attention to the issue. No matter their issues, I'm sure they'd be willing to set them aside for the safety of their child. For now, though, let her know she has support in you and that she is loved. Healing takes a long time, and the friends that stick by her through this will mean the world to her. Wishing you both the best.
