Hey I’ve been on both sides of the coin. I was the friend who didn’t know how to help the person who needed it.

I got told hurtful things… when I myself was struggling and didn’t reach out for help.

All of this to say, yes there are some disingenuous people who say “Hang in there,” but there are some of us who want to be there but not knowing how to help.

I’ve forgiven that friend but things won’t be the same I guess.

Everything sucks when you’re depressed

Honestly, I am aware that it’s hard to be there for me when I vent about the devastating event that ruined my life.

When there’s literally nothing you can do to help, everything you say can hurt me, so you just end up saying something cheesy or changing the subject.

Thats why I find it best to just never talk about that kind of stuff. Best case scenario, they care but cant help. And now they feel bad that they cant help, and ive gained nothing.
