I have a friend who suffers from depression.

He goes in a cycle of wanting to be my friend, and be close friends, and then suddenly he wnats to stop the friendship.

We stop and slow it down for a while, and then he becomes very close again for a while...and then we repeat.

Is this normal?

Sometimes i am me (HT)...

maybe he is worried about his behaviour/ anxiety. with you i mean. reassurance is the key. try and reassure your friend. let him know that you are there for him. with compassion, jamie.
