For me, cheering up someone who is feeling rather sad or even depressed, starts with supporting it with my company or the company of a few friends. Then, we could play games, give it some support tips or even eat some food like pizza on an enjoyable friends’ hangout evening.

sWhat I would do in this case is to talk to my friend or family member about the depressive situation that he or she has.

I would encourage him trying to do several fun projects with him so that he gets distracted and doesn't continue with those negative and depressing thoughts. Another thing I would also try to do is make him feel very special in my life and that of others so that he sees that there are people who appreciate him.

.When someone that i care about is depressed i think that depends of the person, sometimes i've tried to make him or her to forget what they are going through maybe telling a story or doing something that they like, for getting distracted, but sometimes I've tried to be supportive and a good listener also I led the person know that i am there for him or her no matter what.

first what i would do is first lisent and see how the person is, because anyway people need help and should not be alone, then i would take him to eat or whatever he wants to do, sincerely i would stay until he is well

I think i would try to explain to him the goods things about having a life in general and there are many people to from all over the world who go through the same but in the end recover and get ahead no matter how big the problem is, there will always be a solution and friends who will support you.

First of all I would talk to her to know what she´s going through. When I understand the situation, i would give her a hug, try to make some jokes so that she would forget her problems for a while and finally i would sopport her.

I' am a person who prefer that the others are well than myself. So the first thing I would do is to talk with the person about the problem, search the better solution and remind that she or he worth a lot. Always we need a person who make us feel good and sometimes this person is ourselves.

The best way to comfort someone who’s dealing with depression is just as simple as being that person’s company. Don’t ask what’s wrong or in what way you could help her/him. The only thing the person needs to know and understand is that you’re with her/him despite everything.

I would encourage them to go to the therapist. Even tho I´m his/her friend, my help wouldn´t be as good as if it came from a professional. Then, I would be supporting them and reminding them that they aren´t alone.

First, I approach to this person and I ask him/her what happen,later I could walk with him/her and talk about the live and later that I know his/her problems I try to give an advice to his/her problem and finally I make with him/her something that this person like ,to can distract of his/her problems.

If see a friend sad, i would talk with him and ask him if he's ok, and then ask for the problem, i'll give him some andvices and make something to make him fell better like trying to make him laugh or ask him for do something fun to make him think in other stuff.

I think that it would be difficult to help a person with depression but I think that a good idea to help is
keeping her/him company and trying not to leave her/him alone.

I think that it is so complicated to help someone that has depression but maybe the best way is like here what mades he or she feelimg that way and try to adivise her demostrate that her is not lonely.

When someone is depressed i try to talked about the problem, listen the other person is very important, then i try to emphatize with the other person, after that ,with the other person, i try to find a solution or words that can help him or her, and is very important to let her or him know that he or she is not alone.

The first thing I would do would be inviting them to go out for a while somewhere like an amusement park so they can forgets what torments them but I think that what a person really needs when they are in depression is support, so I would give them my support and I would be by their side offering them my shoulder to cry or simply letting them know that I have their backs not matter what, also letting them know that everything that happens to them will be overcome.

Alejandra Redroban

alered01110 — 2020-07-14 16:18:39 UTC

The first idea that comes to my mind is to make his or her feel comfortable with me and listen everything they have to say, all the negative thoughts they have in their mind or another option will be to find some help with more experienced people

Emily Quimí

First I would asked if something wrong happen to her or him, if that person wants to tell me, i would be able to listen and I would be with her or him in that horriblus fight with themselves..
Then I would search the internet for some treatment or how I can help him to feel better, but I will not be able to do all the work myself, I will only accompany him in the process, if he cannot he would only have to seek professional help and be willing to accept it.

stecab01097 — 2020-07-14 16:20:21 UTC

First I try to advised hin that not live is not only good thinks, we going to face a lot of problems but whe need to be strong, no matter the problem or what it affect others if you have time of feeling bad by yourself, you have the time to overcome yourself being more, if you feel that you dont have value. No body deserve feel that and nobody want to feel that, dont allow that somebody meke you feel less. You are not alone you have friends and family that care about

Emily Campos

emicam01098 — 2020-07-14 16:20:22 UTC

First, I would like to listen to what she is going through.. Sometimes our personal experiences can led us guide that person on what she is dealing with. Maybe we can't solve the problem but we are giving support to the person that is needing it.

Brittany Garcia

First, to help someone that is depressed I would LISTEN, listening is one of the best ways to help someone, always encourage him because you are there to make him feel better. And for sure, make him know that you will be always by his side.

johvil01117 — 2020-07-14 16:21:11 UTC

A person can be encouraged depending on the situation and the spirit in which he is because we must know the situation to help him because it is a strong issue that must be faced with the person, supporting and comforting them in the problem or evil they have with other people.
But a person can cheer her up when she is sad knowing that someone is listening to her problems, supporting her, comforting her and knowing that she has to keep going because life goes on and you have to be strong.

miacol02400 — 2020-07-14 16:21:13 UTC

I think the first thing i would do is listen to that person what problems are they having, i could give support and try to take their mind out of it, cheer them up and encourage them, be there when they need it even if my helps isn't enough, trying to not make the person feel lonely.

Tatiana Castañeda

tatcas01099 — 2020-07-14 16:21:17 UTC

Depending on the reason why that person is depressed I could try many things, for example if that person lost someone important in her life I will try to explain her that maybe that important person would like to continue with her life and I will help her in that process.

Anthony Arcos

First i think to question to her o she about the problem in this moment or try no convince or make happy :3

I could also give him words to cheer him up
For example, before I had seen a cat that had depression and was always sad and did not even want to eat

romgom01103 — 2020-07-14 16:22:16 UTC

I think that it depends a lot in the person, but usually i try to talk with them about what happen (obviously is he/she want to do that) or try distract them with a thing that she/he likes. I would do my best for him or her and make them understand that they are not alone.

marblu01094 — 2020-07-14 16:25:00 UTC

In my opinion depends a lot on the person but I would tell him that I will be with him/her and that she is not alone, that she will always be able to count on me so be it just to listen or take it away , they’re gonna see moments where he’s gonna feel really bad but he’s always gonna see someone who’s gonna be there for him/her

Helping someone in depression is a sensitive subject because you dont know what exactly is happening with he or she. The best thing you can do is stay with that person supporting the persn until the person feel more stable to talk to a professional about the problem.

Fabiana Custode

My way to cheer up someone who is feeling depressed, is trying to listen at them, because the main thing that they feel having this sickness is not heard... so normally, I try to listen at them the most time I could, and I try to show them that I have also had similar situations and no matter what, you are strong than that demons in your head saying your alone.

jUAN TREJO

People with depression may not recognize or realize their depression. They may not recognize the signs and symptoms of depression, so they may think that what they are feeling is normal.

Very often, people are ashamed of their depression and mistakenly believe that they can only overcome it with willpower. But depression rarely improves without treatment, and may even get worse. With the right treatment approach, the person you want can improve.

Santiago Lopez

sanlop01107 — 2020-07-14 16:26:44 UTC

What I would do is to encourage them to start trying new things and quiting their comfort zone while showing my support at every moment because like that the person might find something that they didn't know they like doing and get them inspired to continue, because sometimes the reason people get depressed is they think they're not important and everyday is the same and nothing interesting happens in their lives, feeling like they do the same routine over and over leaving them sad and uninspired.

If someone's feeling depressed, the first thing I would do is to talk
to the person to know how i could help them to overcome their problems,
I would bring support to them and try to make them to worry less about
their problems and enjoy what they have.

SAADIA CHAVEZ

2020-07-14 16:27:08 UTC

I always ask the people how are they feeling because I always worry about other people especially my friends, the first thing I do is asking what is happening and hugging them to make them feel comfortable so they could know I support them, later I would do something they like to make them feel happy

Rafael Rendón

2020-07-14 16:29:40 UTC

First of all I would ask him why he is like this, then I would give him some reasons to keep going, for example that he has friends and family who love him, then I would invite him to play video games or something that makes him feel better and I would say that he is not alone.

analem01106 — 2020-07-14 16:33:18 UTC

If I see someone who is dealing with depression or any emotional problem, the first thing I would do is to make them know that I will be there for them anytime they need it. I will make sure they feel close enough to tell me their problems or their insecurities, I would hear them and then try to advise them and help them. After a deep talk , I would make that person feel better. I think that making jokes or remember them good moments will cheer up them.
