Bonesz Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think she might have some problems with depression or anxiety. When she gets sad about something, she holds on to it forever and never lets it go. Right now we're talking about death... Now I understand that it's perfectly normal to be afraid of death, but it really depresses her a lot and I don't know what to do. I've been with her for a little more than a year and I knew her for a year before that, and she's been venting to me about how scared she is of dying since not long after I first met her... At least once a week she tells me that she doesn't see the point in life and she's afraid that she's just going to die someday. And I mean I'm happy to listen to her, but at this point I already want to fix it. Every time we talk, I try to comfort her and tell her that there is a point to life as long as she makes one for herself, but no matter what I say, she'll just be sad about it again the next day. She tells me that she's been having this problem since she was a kid. I've tried to suggest a therapist, but she really doesn't want one. And even if she did, neither of us can afford it right now. I feel like I've ran out of things to say and I can't stand seeing her sad And it's not JUST death. There are other issues too that are brought up often. Idk what to do Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Tell her to google books about life after death and near death experiences. Maybe start with Dannion Brinkley's first book or books about the near death experiences of children. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Bonesz Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 And it's not just death. Today we had a long 3 hour discussion about religion. She was telling me that she's afraid that the bible is right and that the apocolypse is going to come and we're all going to die. The thing that's frustrating about it, is that we've had this same exact discussion so many times already and I've run out of things to say. I don't know how to make her feel better when literally NOTHING I say makes any difference. What am I supposed to do? I feel so frustrated and lost. I really care about this girl so much, but what the heck am I supposed to do to help her? Someone please tell me Link to post Share on other sites
