Good day, question asker. I can see the confusion you are facing, and I extend my support to you.
As someone who has experienced depression, I understand the need for understanding and active listening.
When I was experiencing depressive episodes, I was most concerned about being labeled as "dramatic" or "negative."
"There is no cause for sadness regarding the circumstances you have experienced."
Depression can be a debilitating condition, causing individuals to experience heightened emotional distress and a lack of emotional control, including increased tearfulness.
I first experienced depression more than seven years ago, following the sudden passing of my mother in a public hospital in Hong Kong.
My husband observed that I was visibly distressed during the two days of my mother's funeral and attempted to offer solace. However, his choice of words was misguided, and he said, "Can't you be happy for just two days?" I was displeased by this remark and chose to disregard it.
My university classmate was a source of great support. She would say, "If you feel like you need company, you can just call me; I'm always here." Her words provided much-needed reassurance.
It is important to note that individuals struggling with depression may not appreciate being labelled.
I am hopeful that a solution to the issue you are facing will be found soon.
At this time, I am only able to consider these matters.
I hope my above responses are helpful and inspiring to you. I am the solution, and I study hard every day.
Best regards, Yixinli

I think what people with depression often desire is to feel understood and not judged. To bring them comfort, it's important just to be there for them, listen without trying to fix their problems right away, and let them know they are not alone in this struggle.
Sometimes, those dealing with depression really want a sense of normalcy and connection. Offering the greatest comfort might involve engaging them in activities they once enjoyed or simply spending time together, showing through actions that they are valued and that life can still hold moments of joy despite their pain.
Depression patients may yearn for acceptance and relief from their emotional burden. Providing the most comfort could mean helping them find professional support while also offering a compassionate ear and patience, acknowledging their feelings without dismissing them or minimizing their experiences.
