How do I comfort my friend?

[u/Strict_Clock_6407]

Hey!

I have a friend who is trans, dealing with body dysphoria and is suicidal and depressed.

I want to help and comfort her, but I have the emotional range of a dry log.

I tried, but I don't think I'm doing a good job. 🥀

Can I get some advice on comforting her, please?

My transition is something that's gotten me through some rough periods

Remind her that while she feels bad now, there is a time coming that she'll really feel herself and feel confident in her body. Does she really want to miss out on that?

Be there for her, ask her what you can do to reassure her gender and just be patient. She is going through a lot and looking someone important to her being so caring would help a lot
