My friend isnt in good shape

[slender oak]

I dont know if this goes here but anyways
I am normal, me and my best friend went to diferent schools, he never really had an important friend before, he told me that and i want to believe him, anyways: a mutual friend that goes in the same school as him told me that he cries sometimes during school and that he looks depressed, and that hurts me because i cant do nothing, my friend looks at m like im too relaxed, but he helped me when i was doen and i cant help him now, i dont think he could do something but im scared he would do self harm, this is just a little venting but i needed to get it out

"Remember, your friend's life is not the end of this world. Since he have a second opportunity to live an examined life. Copy-paste my full messages and explained to him, alright? "

I'm back now. I'll sort it out. So look, you need to pay attention to what your body is trying to warn you about. People like you have distorted, negative ways of thinking about themselves and the world around them that can happen automatically and come seemingly out of nowhere.

Of course, we often become agitated and terrified since life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.' Even then, people want security, structure, and control over their future, despite them overestimating the influence that their behavior exerts over uncontrollable outcomes.

While we may not wish to acknowledge it, uncertainty, stress, and the other negative things are a natural and inevitable part of life. Very little about our lives is constant or totally certain, and while we have control over many things, we can't control everything that happens to us.

Therefore, your mind tightly holds you hostage unknown to you, keeping you locked in a correctional facility of gloominess even when there is nothing pressuring you from the outside. But you found me, and I lead you to the shortest path between two ideas, which is often the courage to question the map you were handed.

Hear me out. Grappling with doubts, uncertainty and fear is an act of courage. True strength lies in embracing loneliness, failure and chaos head-on---not alone, but with support from those who care for you.
