S1980 hi there and to everyone ☺
Welcome S1980 you've come to a very supportive place with so many people that understand depression.
It's hard enough isn't it having depression to deal with let alone what's going on which sadly sounds like you're doing it hard poor thing.
Something I'm wondering could be a possibility is your friend might be unwell or could their phone be on the blink do you think? Hopefully the latter or out of credit.
It's so hard not knowing what's going on. I feel sorry for you.
I understand focusing on it and the mind going over and over. Really grinds you down doesn't it. We tend to feel things deeper in depression. Some good news is we can learn to manage our feelings from depression.
Something that can be a big help and give the brain a breather is distraction. In these times if we can focus and think about anything else that's not a down our focus changes even temporarily being free of pains good.
Might be a good memory a TV show that makes you laugh a good book some songs you enjoy or hobbies etc
Another method I explored was picking letters in the alphabet and thinking of things that start with it. Might be A for Apple Ant Art etc. Giving thought to the words thought up often trigger other thoughts that can be lifting.
This doesn't solve but it gives your mind a break from pain which is needed.
