5 ways to help a loved one with depression (besides saying 'I'm sorry').
“I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that.”
I’m tired. I’m tired of the words, “I’m sorry.” At this point, if you could just come up with another way of phrasing that, I’d appreciate it.I feel sorry for myself enough already. When I reach out and tell you I’m hurting, you’re my lifeline. You’re the one thing I see who could possibly save me. I’m feeling weak, yet reaching out is the strongest thing I could do.
When I reach out for help, I’m looking for actions. I don’t want to ask you to do something for me, I don’t want to feel like a burden. Yet, I need you to do something for me. I need you to actually get up and do something to help me. If you don’t know how to help a loved one in their time of need while they’re struggling with mental health issues, here’s a list of things I know I’d at least appreciate. It’s notI’m depressed, which means I’m more than likely isolating myself. This only makes things worse, yet I don’t have the strength to get out on my own. I need a helping hand. Offer to come pick me up and take me out to breakfast, coffee, or to a park to just relax.
I hope this helps someone who loves a person with depression and anxiety. I hope it gives you an idea to what they may need. Please, just ask what you can do. And be willing to do it. Thank you all for being our friends.
