I've been depressed and it's precisely because of that i'm certain i couldn't be of help to someone depressed. Thinking back, i can't think of anything my friends could've said that would've helped. I mean, i was basically a pessimistic, cynical asshole that shot everything down, be it "it'll be ok" or "Lets go to the cinema".
