When someone is depressed, heres what *NOT* to do: 1) Tell them to look around them and see how good they have it compared to other people, and stop being so selfish 2) Tell them to snap out of it 3) Tell them to go ahead and kill yourself if you feel that shitty, and hey, heres a gun to help you out 4) Say, Cheer up!!!! 5) Any other dickish comment to show just how clueless you are about how depression works What you *CAN* do: 1) Have some empathy and listen 2) Remind them you care about them 3) Be available for support when and if they want it, on their terms 4) Be non-judgmental This has been your daily PSA. Carry on....
