Ok the other thread got me thinking again.
Background: I was depressed while I was in JHS and I didn't have a great outlook in life but I soon got over it as a friend help me through and out of it which I am very grateful.

Now it's been a couple years and I haven't said thanks yet and I want to. Just that due to the duration I feel I owe her much more now than just a simple thanks.

Thus, I need suggestions on what I should do or give her as an appreciation of what she had done for me. I'm not really sure what to give her as I am a dimmed lightbulb in these situations.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I am in HS, so I have a tight budget to stick with too.

Thanks,
Jason

Well do you know what she likes in any regards to stuff?

I mean could also just take her out to dinner just as a thank you as well.

You know what she might appreciate, not a physical gift. But something more intangible.

All the things you could not offer her while being depressed, like being a good listener or putting her interests first, try and work on that.

Might sound silly, I know. But lets say she is very busy with school/work/family or something. Find some way to help her. Wash her car, pick up her dry cleaning, mow the lawn, etc.

Well I can help her along in the Salvation army.

I haven't hanged around with her in a long time as I've "lost" contact with her ever since I switched middle school and just recently got it back in HS so that's pretty much all I know currently.

We don't actually hang out with one another still as I kind of stifled it a couple months ago due to me being sort of socially inept(-_-) at that time but I'll come around.

Once I get it all back together, I'll make sure to do that also. Thanks

You could try giving her a big hug and telling her how much she means to you, and that it's important to you to do something for her.


I'm big on direct, frank communication.

I second the hug. This is only me speaking, but I appreciate heartfelt hugs from friends a lot more than random presents.
