  1. Celebrate their successesWhen you're going through a tough time, it can be hard to recognise and acknowledge your own achievements. It's also hard to see your own progress and improvement. When your friend takes a step towards confronting their fears or improving their wellbeing, congratulate them and do something fun together. Help them feel proud of themselves.Something that has really helped me in the past is to make sure to do fun things with my friend, rather than making every interaction about trying to solve what I’m going through. – WheresMySquishy (Forums User)Take care of yourself!It can be pretty scary and intense to see someone you care about experiencing depression or anxiety. You can be there for your friend, but it’s equally important to do things that keep you well. By taking care of yourself, you’ll be in a better place mentally and physically, and this allows you to better support the people around you.Remember to do the following to make sure your own wellbeing is looked after:Monitor your mood. You might be really worried about your friend, but it's important that you also monitor your own mood and stress levels. This could include rating your mood out of ten each day, to track how you're doing.Don't give up the things you enjoy. Always make sure you've got the time to do your favourite things.Make time to relax. Relaxation is great for helping you to unwind and deal with stress.Set boundaries. You aren’t going to be able to be there for your friend all of the time. Set some limits around what you’re willing, and not willing, to do. For example, you might decide not to take any phone calls in the middle of the night, or not to miss social events just because your friend isn’t up to going.Ask for support. It’s important that you’re getting your own emotional support. Talk to people you trust about how you’re feeling.
