And by "time to time" I, of course, mean roughly once every three years.

This is a good one because people always say to check on your friends. But it never really says what to say/do when they go into a tailspin.

And I think the answer (from my years of trial and error and therapy) is just give them a space to be heard. No judgement. No trying to fix things. Just let them talk.

I don't have an answer on the thing after that. I dunno, make them breakfast?

I had almost that exact conversation with an old coworker who was laid off.

In all honesty, that's often a good way to respond. Just getting that acknowledgement that someone listened is enough. ^_^

We all need to keep track of our friends in this dystopia.
