People who are depressed have a lot on their mind and with that a lot of questions they try to answer themselves: what happened, what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I do anything right? Wouldn’t people be better off if I was dead?
But to make things worse, they often feel isolated and misunderstood because of something silly a friend or family member said. Don’t let that be you. Here are some phrases never to say:

“There’s always someone worse off than you are.”
What to say:
“You’re not alone in this.”
Depression has a way of singling out a person and putting it in their head that they are the ONLY ones expereicneing this or who have ever experienced this.
