    If my friend became depressed because another person in our situation found a job before us, I would first acknowledge and validate her... feelings—letting her know it’s okay to feel discouraged. I’d remind her that everyone’s journey looks different, and one person’s success doesn’t take away from hers. I would support her by listening, spending time together, and encouraging healthy coping activities to keep her motivated. If she’s open to it, I’d offer to help with job applications or interview prep so she feels supported in moving forward. And if I noticed her depression getting worse, I would gently encourage her to reach out for professional help. My focus would be on being empathetic, uplifting, and reminding her she’s not alone. more

  • buy her some chocolate. she sounds like she's doubting her self worth and she's slightly jealous. don't yell at her and don't dismiss her feelings,... but be a friend in need and in deed. sit down, talk to her, try to understand how she's feeling and why. let her rant. more

  • Getting into depression because one of you got a job is a sign that she ain't a good friend, I've to admit; instead it should have been a a good hope... that all of you will get there one time. What I can recommend you both should do is start to thinking of income generating activity, which I believe will pull you off from idleness as you keep applying for the job openings that matches your skill set. more
