- you tell them they are nothing/not worth your time
- you tell them the problem is solely theirs and no one cares enough to be bothered
- you tell them that you are no longer a safe place for them (and most probably that you never were!)
- you tell them when they feel like crying but don’t know why that you will not be a shoulder for them
- you tell them that when the depression makes sleep at night impossible they will still be expected to get up the next morning and function at full capacity
- Did I mention you tell them they are worthless? Not worth anyone’s compassion
- you are saying to them that they do not deserve to be on this planet
- that they mean nothing
-that their best is NOT and never will be good enough
A few simple words or actions that say you do not care, says all this to someone who suffers from depression.
Saying you have NO compassion for their struggles says they are not worth your concern, love, thoughts, protection, help - It shoves them lower than they already are, makes it hard to see any light, hard to breath, hard to hope, hard to move forward, hard to live.
