Power of Words!

A person suffering from depression is always on verge of breaking down. Physical wounds can be treated and cured, but mental wounds always stays there and gives pain.

Depression feels like never- ending chains of restlessness, and worthlessness. It is necessary to look for those who are in depression and always help them, console them and make them feel loved.

Here are some soothing and consoling things to say to a depressed person:

1. " What can I do to bring some comfort?"

2. " Depression is strong but you're stronger."

3. " Your feelings are valid."

4. " I'm not leaving your side."

5. " Your burnout isn't due to weakness, it's due to being strong for too long."

6. " We are in this together."

7. " Thank you for still being here."

8. " It's okay if you need time and space to recharge, I won't take it personally."

9. " You are not a burden."

10. " You're so strong for fighting this."

Unknowingly, sometimes we say those things which we never meant to say but they can leave a forever and deep mark on the listener. This can be a reason for many depressed persons to completely give up on their life. Here are some things which should never be said to a depressed person.

1. " You are so lazy."

2. " There are people way worse off than you."

3. " Stop feeling sorry for yourself."

4. " You are such a buzz kill."

5. " But you don't look depressed."

6. " We all get sad from time to time."

7. " It's all in your head."

8. " Stop attention seeking."

9. " What do you have to be depressed about?"

10. " Don't be such a downer."

Always think twice before you say something harsh to someone. You never know what battle a person is going through. Your harsh words can destroy them from inside out whereas your soothing words can give them a hope.
