When you know people who are suffering from depression, I hope you won't leave them at their darkest.
When you know people who are suffering from depression, I hope you won't leave them at their darkest.
I hope you never get tired of reminding them how great they are. People like them can barely appreciate themselves. No matter how many people try to convince them that they are worthy and beautiful, they just can't love themselves.
I hope you won't force them to tell you why they don't feel okay all along because they can't find the right words to tell you what's going on. Sometimes they want to speak but are afraid to be judged. They prefer to keep it all inside because they think that you will never understand. Sometimes they want to cry but are afraid to be asked why. If you want to help them, you must be patient. Telling them that what they suffer is just like a 'get over it situation' won't be helpful. Their minds refuse to accept any advice, so all you have to do is show them that you care.
When they feel empty, fill them with love. I hope you stay with them when they're lonely. I hope you show them the beauty of life that they can no longer see. And if you know people who are already depressed, please don't hurt them more. Don't give them reasons to hate themselves more. Don't give them more reasons to think that it is not worthy to live.
They are the kind of person who always finds ways to survive, but please don't give them more reasons to want death. If you can't help them fix themselves, at least never destroy them at their weakest.
