Honestly, some people need to learn that whenever a person is suffering from anxiety, depression or any other mental illness you just have to let them alone for a while.
Or buy/give them something they like (not joking at all, because instead of talking about the problem by pushing it we can speak about the things we both enjoy).
and share hugs, pls ヽ(´▽`)/
Wishing you all the best, and many hugs of friendship.
=)
Thank you.
