Depression is a lot more than just feelings of sadness. I think a lot of people often under estimate how serious and debilitating it can be. It wasn’t as simple as how mental awareness brochures put it across. For me, it was a deep sense of loss and fragmentation and I was too much in pain to see myself as a whole being. There was lack of fulfilment and despair, that despite being alive I didn’t feel alive I just felt tired and heavy. There has been an increase in the number of suicides in recent years. I know that there are tons of awareness going around and suicide hotlines available. But I hope that other than sharing these resources, if you can, please just try to reach out to anyone around you that might be struggling. It could be school, work or family. Someone whom is struggling to keep in contact with you. Someone who you might have not seen in a while. Anyone. Often people suffering from depression they don’t have the ability to call for help, what we can do is try to make ourselves open and available and let them know that there’s someone here if they need. I love you all very much, please take care. -- source link
