Depressed Girlfriend...

Alright, When I first met my girlfriend she was happy and nothing could go wrong in her life but of course it did. She was raped…I feel really bad for her and if I EVER find the guy that did it I dont know if I will be able to stop myself from ripping his heart out…Anyways…everything that could possibly go wrong in her life has..I really want to help her but whenever I try anything her parents step in (they hate me and their very overprotective atm) Question:What should I do? How can I help her? I really need advice right now…

Answer #1

take her out on dates. pay attention to her. laugh with her. just make sure she knows you love her and are there for her whenever she needs it.

Answer #2

don’t try nething sexual…it will probably be tooo hard for her to handle rite now. convince her that life can still be fun, take her places that usually people your age don’t go that are fun. I really hope this helps. good luck.

Answer #3

You cant fix her… but you can be supportive… just be there for her. Understand that the depression isnt her fault and be patient, and keep reminding her that none of this was her fault…

Answer #4

One of my good female friends was molested by her father, and for a long time (about a year and a half), she was really depressed, even to the point of cutting herself. It didn’t help that she got into relationships with a couple of losers who only liked her for her body, one after the other. Thankfully, after a couple of jerks like that, she finally found a boy who valued her for her. It’s made all the difference in her life.

You need to work on restoring her self confidence. Make her feel like the greatest person on Earth. Heap her with affection and love. Make sure she knows how important she is to you.
