Proud to see lots of friends saying that they and others should support those with depression. Being both affected (I will not say sufferer) and in the past a supporter it warms my heart. It can be a killer but there are so many living it each day and a bit of support is so helpful. Tips I have learnt through my experiences are: To ask how are you today (today makes it so much easier to answer) or regular check in messages with something like, just letting you know Im thinking of you and I know you cant always answer. Also if you do offer support to not take on too much. You can only offer so much of yourself and ultimately we as depressives have to help ourselves too. If you are seriously worried about someone direct them to their doctor along with your support. It may not be a perfect service but it is the safest and first option. We cant bring back those lost but we can use those losses to help those still here. Hoping my little bits of knowledge add to the pool of help being offered xx
