We often underestimate how much we can help because we live in a society constantly looking for a quick solution to problems. Depression doesn’t have that, which leads us to feel helpless to solve the problem. That being said, there is nothing better when dealing with depression than knowing that someone (preferably multiple people) is going to be with you during the struggle. Everything seems overwhelming when you’re in the midst of depression; you need someone to make it just a little less so.
