I have a close girlfriend who is suffering quite badly with post natal depression. She has a partner. She has moved back home with her parents for support. The three of them are living there currently. A week after she was diagnoses and moved back home, I took around some food to be reheated and some sweet treats too. I am in contact with her at least once a week via text. Just saying hello, how are you, thinking of you etc.
I'm just wondering what else I can do to be helpful? Is there something that I can do that will help her? I know flowers don't help but is that something that might be worthwhile? A plant? More goods? I feel helpless. If she was home is offer to look after her darling daughter for her but as she's at her mums, I do t want to step in toes!!! I'm after anyone with experience who might be able to suggest what they had or wished a friend did for them when they were so low.
i want her to know I'm thinking of her and here for her......but actually do something instead of just words. Hope that makes sense!
thanks in advance x
