Content Warning: Depression, Suicidal Ideation
This Part 2 episode (Part 1 was previous episode), features my close friend Alison, who I have known for over a decade! Like all friends, our friendship has changed quite a bit over this time... But with me becoming very sick a few years back, it has changed in some more serious and unexpected ways!
Today we discuss:
→ Ask for Help with Tasks. Talking about perspective… what is a small effort for your friend, may be huge for you. So ask! Save your spoons!
→ Then… pay attention to who shows up. And… it is okay to grieve over a lost friendship.
→ Learn to think in spoons. (Are you familiar with spoon theory? Should we do an episode on it?)
→ Making plans: Make the plans! But always have a plan B.
