21 yr old friend with problems.

My friend is 21 years old and he’s depressed that he hasn’t done anything with his life yet. He graduated and has spent 4 years just working and playing video games. He know what to do, but he has no motivation on doing it. How can I help him get through his depression? Please and thank you.

Answer #1

Hard to say, what does he want to do? i mean, he wants or wanted to achieve some goal in his life (if not you should find out what it could be) being depressed is a state of mind which is hard to get out of, the person himself should want it and nothing can help until he realizes he is the only person who can help himself out of this slump.

Answer #2

Some people are in fact victims of depression but there are also perpetual victims who prefer to live in the self pity mode and will fight anything that moves them away from that comfort zone. The question is which is he? The informer is right, the only person who can honestly do anything, other than, is the person who himself realizes it and is willing to pull themselves out of the self pitty pit. In that respect you can extend a hand out to him, but be careful and watchful if he is making attempts to crawl out with your help or attempting to pull you in with him. If he is not motivated then he has no sense of purpose, you can help him by helping him find what gives him a sense purpose. That may be a vocation he’s thought to hard to reach or avoided all together. What does he believe in, where does he see himself capable of moving closer to what it is he believes in? Sometimes it takes a kick in the butt, forcing them out of their comfort zone and spreading wings they didn’t know they had. But be aware, althought it takes understanding the person, compassion, reinforcing praise when they do…try….It also takes strength to recognize when when it’s you that is sliding down rather then lifting them up.

Answer #4

I mean try to get him out of the house. Research some things he could do and some skills he could get to make him feel more accomplished.

Answer #5

My favorite quote to situations like this: If you want a glass of water, you’ll die of thirst before waiting for it to rain. In other words if you wait for your life to become amazing you’ll be waiting a very long time. You need to get out there, decide what you want from life, and make it happen. It’s entirely possible, all you need is courage and perseverance.
