Mercy and Brigitte with Depressed S/O
Mercy
Angela knows a thing or two about mental health in general. As a doctor, even if it's not her field, she has picked up a few cues and tricks to help.
Her first call of order is to brew you up a nice warm tea (or something else, if you prefer!), and smother you in a blanket and kisses to the forehead.
Angela doesn't like leaving you to it. She will sit down with you after making sure you're comfortable and will calmly ask if you'd like to talk to her. She'd much prefer if you confided in her, and will be a little disheartened if you don't. She likes to think that she can heal everything, but this reminds her that there's always something she can't quite fix.
You tell her you're losing hope. The world sucks and you're just not... Okay with it. She'll smile and nod solemnly, because she knows exactly what you mean, for she's had similar thoughts. But then she'll calmly remind you of everything good in the world. Anything that comes to her mind. Your friends, your lives. That one barista at that local coffee shop that knows your order by the letter. Everything.
She'll curl up with her head on your lap like a little kitten and hold her hands up to capture your cheeks in her palms and tell you how much she loves and adores you.
Brigitte
She likes to save cute little cat videos for when you're extra sad. Because if you're losing hope in the word, surely a cat being cute can temporarily help?
She likes if you confide in her, but at the same time, she's also better at distracting you rather than aiding your issues.
So she always makes sure you pull your mind away from what's ailing you! She calls up her dad in secret and asks him how to make an old family recipe that you tried once when visiting her family. She wants to cheer you up!
Drops her cat in your lap and firmly tells it to "cheer up her baby". Meaning you. You're her baby.
If you tell her you've lost hope in the world, you wanna know what she'll do? "Well, I don't know about you, but there's sure a lot more than the world can give me! It does kinda suck at the minute, but just think-- Maybe this time next year we'll be married-- or we'll have another cat! Or-- Oh! Oh! What if we went on holiday! Oh, there's so much I want to do with you, and I can't wait!"
She makes you sit on her lap so she can snuggle into the back of your neck and tell you how much you mean to her.
