Mental Health Day...

And no one truly understands until it’s too late. That’s the sad part about it.

I actually disagree with this

I think it's twofold - part of the depression is feeling like you're a trivial and unnecessary burden on someone else so you shouldn't share your feelings, while the other issue is those who want to sometimes really make a difference can't, because as much as support can be given, it doesn't always lead to positive improvements and that can be disheartening

@Beautywithin So what do you think of Damon Runyan & Would You Do Him

So so true
When I was going though a bad patch and eventual break down
I was told to man up by my old boss
Things are changing thankfully now. More high profile people coming out and openly discussing their own battles.
You should never have to suffer in silence because your illness is a "stigma".....

Absolutely.... we have only just begun to scratch the service of this very important sensitive subject that needs copious amounts of empathy and understanding 🥀🌈 ✨🌤

It makes me sick. It took way too long to finally get treated because, "Just ignore it, you're fine. You just need sleep."

I know someone who deals with that. I feel helpless when talking to her about it.

Thats because nobody can tell what the other person is going to do - ? a broken arm is something that you can see and deal with - But the brain and it's associated wiring ? - no way I am not going to have someone flip out on me because I asked them whats the matter.

Unfortunately I feel it will take a long time for this mentality to change.😢

it's fear - possibly fear that it might happen to us :)

✊🏻, thanks for posting this.
