This a very interesting question. The answer is simple: do not alloud him lay down. Take him o her, everywhere. Yes, he will look bored and won´t be the perfect company but the good news is that you are. When I got depressed during my studying in the university I had the luck of having a friend that was since morning with me until late at night. She told me everything she could to keep me busy. I had a car so we can go out for ride. She invented few. Bed was calling but she was not going to give it the pleasure of my surrender.

A good friend understands your silence, keep your mind busy with silly things, talk about the last love and the next one and yes is capable of taking you out of town to a farm with unkwon friends just to don´t let you think bad things.

If you have a friend that is surely depressed, keep him busy in your life. The worst thing of depression is that friends leave you in most of the cases. When you are alone, bed is your shrine, your throne and that throne eats you, bites you, take out your clothes, do not alloud you to take a shower so… avoid it. Think it doesn´t exist.

Yes is a huge effort, but a friend that worries is a friend that loves you and nothing is more healing than love.

If your friend is falling, give him your hand. Be his eyes. Make him dance. He needs to move, so, walk, walk without destiny or reason. Make him eat. Yes, we know he is always full. Give him a chocolate, a candy, something sweet. Friends and relationships are vital to pass trhu this rare station of mind where everything is gray except the smile of that friend that doesn´t fear to be with you and help you survive the bad winds with his own wings.
