10 Things You DON’T Say To A Depressed Person
Avoid these lines at all cost
- There are people worse off than you, what do you have to be depressed about?
- No one ever said life was fair
- Just stop feeling sorry for yourself
- Snap out of it
- I feel the same when things don’t go right for me
- It’s all in your head
- Can’t you just think positively?
- Just go out and have some fun!
- We all get sad sometimes
- Don’t take medication, you don’t wanna get hooked and rely on those depression pills.
Sometimes, it is the ones closest to you that might say these things. They are really only trying to help, they just don’t know how to. Of course they don’t want to see their loved one down. Print this out for them if you must.
