#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

A simple message can go a long way—especially when someone is having a tough time. But for those who haven’t experienced depression, knowing what to say isn’t always easy.

What’s a text message you’d love to receive in the midst of depression? Why would that message feel helpful, encouraging, or comforting to you?

Sometimes the reason we are able to see something more clearly or understand ourselves in a different way is because of something someone else told us in a time of need. So we’re curious, what’s a piece of advice you were given that changed your perspective for the better?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that she’s gotten a lot of great advice from others over the years. The best advice, however, was when her therapist pointed out that she doesn’t have to do things that make her uncomfortable, especially if it’s making her lose sleep.

Her therapist shared that @sparklywartanks can simply create a boundary that protects her mental health instead of always trying to figure out how to navigate that troubling situation.
