Did you know that ignoring someone can help with depression and anxiety?
It’s more of paying attention to someone when they’re in a positive mood and not when they are in a bad mood.
You don’t want to reinforce someone that’s in a bad mood, because they will do it more.
Providing support is good, but people can rely on you way too much which affects your health as well.
Whenever someone is having a positive day, that’s the time to discuss their depression or anxiety.
Help make a plan with them, so they can get through it one step at a time.
This is more effective but can be risky doing, so inform them of what you’re doing.
