Here are 6 things to say to connect with someone living with depression: 1. Iâm here for you.. Just offering to be there for someone with depression helps. Someone who feels trapped in a cycle of self-loathing often feels unworthy of reaching out to people around them.
Too many people with clinical depression are left lonelyâa process which only worsens depressionâbecause friends choose to say nothing (in other words avoid them.). If you simply don't know what to say, honestly is the best policy. Tell your friend that you have no idea what to sayâbut that you will be there for her.
