Ellie's story continues. Contrasting her experiences with unsupportive friends in Part 1 of the Friendship Series, here in Part 2, Ellie shows us how good friends have helped her deal with ADHD and Depression. She also talks about a painful experience many people can relate to--a breakup. She tells us specific actions her friends took that made her feel better. Together, we outline 3 qualities of a good friend, and give tips on how to be a good friend to someone who has a mood disorder or mental illness. (And yes, in honor of friendship and Friends, we are playing The Rembrandts' I'll Be There For You!) Food for Thought/Suggestions for Comment: Could you relate to the story about Ellie's breakup? Have friends ever helped you through a difficult season in your life? What qualities do you look for in a good friend?
