What words of comfort can you offer someone with depression? "I hope you feel better" doesn't seem appropriate.

Re: Advice thread

It's not you, it's your brain, and I love you, and I'm here for you.

I don't think you can "comfort" them - I think it's important that you're there for them, and that they don't feel like you're abandoning because they're "not fun" anymore.

Listen to them if they need to vent, it's hard to find someone to trust.

If you feel like it's the depression talking - do let them know, but not in an accusatory way.

AYRT - They seem to know that it's the depression talking - it's more that they talk about it, and I never know what to say.

Re: Advice thread

[kallanda_lee]

Ever asked them what they expect?

"If you need to talk, I'm here to listen."

That's... about it. It's not something you can fix, or even try to fix. However, knowing that you won't be judged and have a safe place to vent your problems is more helpful than you realize.

I like being reminded I'm not bothering someone when I talk and they don't hate me for being depressed. It's VERY person to person though.

Re: Advice thread

I'm not sure comfort is what you should be going for. There is nothing you can say that will displace what's already going on in their brain.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" is probably the way to go. Especially if you follow it up with actually doing the thing, whether it's vacuuming their house for them or going out and getting them a cupcake, or even making a difficult phone call.
