SIGNS SOMETHINGS WRONG

ppl sometimes ignore the warning signs of a persons cry for help alcoholism' drug addiction and substance abuse self harm and comfort eating can all be signs that someone is suffering their own personal hell sometimes these things can be a form of escape from the turmoil that's happening mentally and in their personal lives there is a lot of stigma and taboo around such issues and mental health in general ppl tend to say that it is just attention seeking or brush such things under the carpet if they ignore it long enough they'll stop it but the problem is it will always be present there in the background until it is addressed and that person receives counselling or professional help mental illness must be addressed ALWAYS if someone says to you they don't feel ok take them seriously get them help and support them there can be many other forms of personal abuse too which can be cries for help

You can't help them if they don't want help. I've tried.

@DearAmbellina2113 no one is beyond help it's all about doing what's best for them even if it means against their will sometimes you need to take control of the situation for them I have been their myself suffered mental illness and depression alcohol addiction as well if I hadn't had been forced to get help I probably wouldn't be here today I understand what you mean and I sympathise with you sometimes you need to take control of a persons life because they've lost control and need guidance
