My best friend is an amazing mother, friend, and person. She is outgoing, dedicated, and just a beautiful person... but I'm very concerned that she is depressed. I am not a doctor, I can't diagnose her, but she's so sad, has no ambition or motivation anymore. Its gotten so bad that the past few weeks she barely gets her kids out the door to school and then goes back to bed, but she doesn't sleep, she just lays there. She takes care of her children, but not herself. She has a very unstable relationship with her husband and has endured every type of abuse imaginable from him... She's scared to leave him because they have 3 small children together and she doesnt' think she can do it alone. She has no family or friends to help her, except me. I don't live close to her anymore, but we talk daily on the phone... I've felt her slipping and it scares me. If she won't help herself, what do I do?
