Many people around someone struggling with depression end up frustrated because you can't "fix" us. Don't try to fix me: I'm not a broken toy to be fixed. Trying to fix me only adds to the feeling of not being "good enough," because I'm not in the best shape. Just be there for me: someone to lean on when I'm not strong, & a shoulder to cry on, to let me know I don't have to go through it alone. You can't fix me, but you can help me by not making it worse: do not yell or snip in frustration, because this makes it worse. I already feel like I'm not good enough, so I don't need the reminder. Please be patient, & with your support & prayers, I will find my way out of this hole, even if it's not in the timing either of us would prefer.
