Talking to Friends
Talking to true friends or what is commonly known as having heart to heart conversations offers many benefits for the treatment of depression and loneliness. These include:
1. Your friends or close family members can listen to you as you express and release painful emotions so that the healing can begin.
2. Your friends can tell you how to relate with others better so that you can improve your interpersonal relationships.
3. Your friends can spend time with you and help ease the loneliness of depression as they support you emotionally.
4. Your friends can boost your mood and morale by suggesting solutions, reassuring you, cheering you up and saying nice things to you. Their positive words can help you feel better since Anxiety in the heart causes depression but a good word cheers it. (Proverbs 12:25)
5. The act of talking about your problems to a trustworthy friend is therapeutic because it helps you feel better even if the problematic situation has not changed.
Therefore, schedule time to spend with your friends and keep your dates even if you do not feel like socializing.
