This is your chance to have a voice with what you would like to hear. I have created a post with 99 things not to say to someone who is depressed. I would also like to make a post for 99 things to say to someone who is depressed. Please post below things you would want to hear if you are depressed and looking for someone to help you. What would you want them to say to you? I think this is very interesting knowledge and good to have around for people who don't always know what to say. We always come to a situation where we feel dumb founded and speechless. Its a good reference and the best place to get information is from you, So help us out and lets get this list going! I will also be getting things to say from the youth I work with.

this is the one thing that none of my friends ever said to me when i was depressed,,,,,
People care, I care.
They would say people care but they never said they care
i have another one.....If you know of something that they had want to accomplish bring that up, and say some thing like:
And what happened to your dream of XXXXX, are you just going to let it go?
Hope they help, that second one save me many times. =]

I think people some people who are depressed can some times just want to feel loved, and need to know people care about them. So I second the care idea, and also
What about *insert names here*? We all love you, and care about you.
That helped me.. and I know it helped some one else.

"I care" "You're not alone in this" "I'm not going to leave/abandon you" "Do you want a hug?" "I love you (if you mean it)." "It will pass, we can ride it out together." "When all this is over, I'll still be here (if you mean it) and so will you." "Don't say anything, just hold my hand and listen while I cry." "All I want to do now is give you a hug and a shoulder to cry on.."
I know it woun't make sence but I was wondering if these could be added to the list of things NOT to say if anyone disagrees with me let me know Of course you're depressed, just look at the TV you watch/music you listen to."
"People are depressed because they're too lazy to be happy."
"Quit trying to be a martyr."
"You're depressed because of demonic/Satan's influence in your life."

"Nobody likes missing out on things... I can keep you from missing out on life, because I am always here for you to make it the best it can be" Then say "What makes you love life, what would break your heart if you missed out on it??" After they answer, say "If you let me, I will do all I can to help you achieve that, and we can experience this adventure together."
For me personally, I hate missing out on things because I love adventures and excitement, and hate missing out. So this would really work for someone like me.
