Now this is about a really good friend (not myself) but I really want to help her...(i'm a guy, but not a boyfriend)...

Anyway, I went on a travel program with my camp, and made many friends. One of them, I unfortunately didn't meet until there were 3 days left, but we became great friends along with a few other people.

Now I unfortunately had to go home and work when they all went to camp and had a great time. But that isn't the point...She told me that she has suffered from depression before because of a lot of family trouble, but she was fine on travel and at camp.

Also while on travel, she had a boyfriend, who mistreated her in many ways. She eventually dumped him by the end of travel, but he travels down to where she lives every so often. She's freaked out enough at him to put hurricane shutters on her window...

She also says that she's starting to get depressed again (she used to cut herself) because of being scared of her x and missing us so much. But as a good friend, I don't want her to do anything harmful to herself again.

Unfortunately, she lives in florida and I live in new jersey, so there isn't much I can do directly. She says she's seen psychiatrists but they don't help. I'm visiting her over christmas time, but i'm scared she's going to do something drastic.

Please, is there anything I can do to help her? Thank you.
