My childhood friend suffered for years with anxiety and depression. As we grew older, I knew something was wrong, but I could not help her or advise her. I did not know what to say or to do. Sometimes she would be sad and didn’t want to share in any activity and would stay away for days. At times she and I would attend church services. She would cry a lot. Anytime I would ask if everything was okay, she would say “I’m fine.” It would have been great had there been a resource office in our church that offered counseling and referrals. Maybe she would have gotten help. My friend moved to Chicago and we lost contact. Sad.
