6 Things You *Should* Say To People With Depression

I was lucky enough for The Mighty.com to ask me to write a list of things you should say to people with depression considering there are plenty of lists out there explaining what not to say. It took me awhile to write this post. I had to dig deep within myself and think about when I was at my worst and what words were able to get through. I’ve chosen 6 things from my own experience. They won’t work for everyone because every person is different, but they may work for some. If you know someone with depression, try them out. If you have depression and can think of others to add to the list, I’d love for you to explain why they work for you.

I hope my “6 Things You *Should Say To People With Depression” resonates and helps both those with and without depression to maybe understand each other a little better.
