A close friend has depression and I want to help without losing myself. 🤝 How do you support someone sustainably?

Supporting a friend with depression without burning out

Boundaries I set

Approach	Why
Listen without fixing 👂	They need to feel heard
Offer specific help 🎁	Better than open-ended offers
Keep contact steady 📱	Reduces isolation
Protect your energy 🛡️	You cannot pour from empty

How do you support a loved one with depression? 💚
