The Weight of Words: What Not to Say About Depression 🗣️💔

Hi there,
How are you feling today ? 😄

People often mean well, but sometimes their words can hurt more than help. Many of us have heard phrases like “just think positive” or “snap out of it,” which can feel invalidating.

💬 Let’s share our experiences :

• What’s a comment you’ve heard about depression that stuck with you, positively or negatively?
• How do you respond when someone doesn’t understand your experience?
• What do you wish people would say or ask instead?

Let’s discuss how we can educate others and foster more understanding. 💬

Warm regards,
Somya.P from the Carenity Team
