Knowing how to Respond to Depression
Knowing how to Respond to Depression
It’s hard to feel triumphant when circumstances make things seem hopeless.
People always say “well at least you aren’t” “Just change your perspective”
Changing perspective doesn’t change the facts.
Stop giving people cliché responses when you don’t know what to say.
“It could be a lot worse, you know?”
It could be a lot better too.
Empty words do more harm than good.
Learn how to respond to people reaching out.
It’s ok, not everyone is called to respond.
If all you have is empty words, keep them behind your teeth.
You never know what monsters a person may be fighting.
