Other People Can Make Depression Worse! 💙

For more "Depression Help", please visit http://www.epicentering.com/ 💙Something that unfortunately can make depression worse is that people don't understand it. They don't know how best to support someone with depression, which raises feelings of insecurity and inadequacy in them, which they aren't comfortable to experience. 💙

So they will back away and you will feel like (and depression will tell you), that you're not good enough to have friends, you're not good enough as a family member. That's not actually the case, the problem lies with the people who have an inability to express kindness and compassion to someone who's struggling with depression. 💙

That isn't your fault. You can take that weight off of your own shoulders. 💙
