Words to a depressed friend :)

silverMoment23 September 13th, 2017

There are a million phrases to say to a depressed friend, here are a few of mine (I say same to myself sometimes)

"I care about you"

"Sending a ray of sunshine and hugs"

"You're not alone in this"

"It will pass, we can ride it together "

"If you need a friend, I'm here for you "

"Hey, you're not crazy"

"I understand your pain and I empathize "

"This feeling won't last forever"

"Take your time, no one is rushing you to feel better"

"I am here for you"

What are Yours?

I am here for you, you are not alone in this, Ill go with you on this path

I cant really feel what you are feeling, but I care about you and well ride this out together

There are ways to get through this difficult time

Do you want a hug?

It is ok to feel this way

Just do the best you can because thats enough

You are not wrong for feeling the way you do and no one blames you for it

I will be there for you whenever I can

"I was thinking of you"

"I wanted you to have a good day"

"I got you some candy/cookies/etc"

" I love you"

" Wanna stress bake"

Never realized how much of my stuff revolves around food! I just wanted to mention how much I appreciate this post, it really made my day and reminded me to send these thoughts to my friends. Thank you!

I tend to use different phrases which reassure them that they aren't alone and that I will try to help them.

"I know you must not be feeling happy, why don't you get off your phone and just rest or do something you'd enjoy"

"Can we go out to your fave restaurant"

"I love you because you are worthy of it and I''ll always be here for you no matter what"

"You are one of the nicest, strongest and prettiest girls I've met and I'm glad I'm friends with someone like you"

We need to remember "depressed" people are the same as normal people and must be treated similarly.
