Hi Andy! I think you may be searching for a different word. "Accompany" is usually used when someone goes somewhere with you. For example "I accompanied my friend to the store." :)

The effect of kind words, when you are feeling down, can make a huge difference. Perhaps you felt understood, valued, acknowledged, validated, appreciated, cherished and renewed. I hope one of these words are fitting.

"I felt supported". Although they did accompany you physically, the reason for there presence was to support you in difficult time. Accompany is usually used when someone goes somewhere with you because you need or want them there.

"Last week I felt depressed and my best friend came and kept me company." Accompanied is used the way Cassidy has pointed out.
