Pick your support wisely

When you are depressed the easiest thing is to surround your self with people who sympathise, who agree with all the reasons for your loneliness, your grief, your sadness.
What you really need though, are friends that empathise not sympathise. Friends who will listen attentively and the help you take action to pull yourself out of the depression.
It may feel better speaking to the former, but the latter are the ones that you need, the ones that are there to really help you. I love all my friends but the real “diamonds” are the ones that keep the light burning at the end of the tunnel.
