Listening without judgment: Just being present and letting them talk can be incredibly healing.
Checking in regularly: A simple “How are you doing today?” can remind them they’re not alone.
Encouraging professional help: Gently suggesting therapy or counseling shows you care about their long-term well-being.
Sharing resources: Whether it’s articles, apps, or support groups, offering tools can empower them.
Spending time together: Even quiet company — watching a movie, going for a walk — can ease isolation.
Being patient: Healing isn’t linear. Your consistency and understanding matter more than perfect words.
Most importantly, pray with them because PRAYER IS THE MASTER KEY!

Well, let's see now. Depression is better than starvation, isn't it? Drink alcohol ******* and be grateful you're not fleeing to an evacuation centre searching for food, then getting shot to death by IDF.

It is actually not a friend, but myself. I practice something akin to self-hypnosis. I smile although not being happy, and act as if I am happy to mask my depression, and it seems to lift my spirits.

Although the person is far away, I message and stay in touch. I let the person know I am there when needed and not be hesitant to reach out. I try to stay interested in the little things because depression makes small stuff way too big. Diversion by talking about fun things like hobbies, accomplishments, family can help. The future is always there to make life brighter. I am not a doctor and I would suggest that if a depressed person is thinking destructive thoughts that they should see a doctor. But I can be a friend and that does take some energy. If I lived closer I would be able to visit and go for walks. Just talk to them and stay in touch.

You can't really talk a person out of anxiety. I find that most people who have anxiety are high strung in the first place and big worriers. The thing is that most of the things people worry about never happens.

My husband takes an antidepressant. His two children decided randomly (seriously out of the blue) that we were bad parents so they are estranged. My son died so we have lost all our children. I take Ashwangha (herbal) for my anxiety, as I did not want to take a prescription med.. It helps alot. We also have a counselor and we have our faith and our church to be supportive.
