A friend of mine is going through some pretty rough stuff in their personal life (relationship breakdown, finances etc.) and it has really shaken them. They're really angry and hurt and it is affecting their ability to focus on work and enjoy everything around them. They are really struggling to see the positives in anything and constantly want to discuss how bad everything is. I'm trying to be supportive but they aren't keen to talk to someone (counsellor or psychologist or anyone) and everything I say gets shut down, which sometimes makes me want to say nothing. How do you best suggest I support them?
