Have you taken a look round you lately?
Seeing those around you…friends, family and strangers
How they’re “living” their lives and “surviving”
All the sadness
Unrest and disbelief

It looks like our world is becoming “euphoric”, to say…
Something happens now and a day goes by without pulling back a second, to think about it or may be, talk about it with somebody you trust
That cycle goes on for a whole week,
And now, it gets to a second one
And at this point, whatever is in our minds at that point in time
Is what we decide to stick with?
As a possible answer to that particular issue

Should you therefore be surprised if you found this person talking to themselves on the road?
Or eating away at garbage
Or wasting away in their drink

I think most people suffer from depression to a certain degree at some point in their lives. It’s having those to help you, and to help support you that’s important. I find so many people these days put their head down and ignore those that are struggling. It’s such a shame. x
Yyyeeaaahhhh….more reason why we must double our efforts, Sweet Elyse.

Are these written by you? What’s the motivation behind it?
👍👍 a few of them, yes. It was a dark stage of my life and I kept on wondering if I’m only going to live my life this way or not.
This is an interesting reflection. It’s so important to take care of our mental health.
👍👍😍😍
Unfortunately stress and actual mental health issues like depression are often interchanged by people and often at their own peril. You can experience down moments and not be ‘depressed’, you can be in a stressful people at work and not have ‘anxiety disorder’. I also think human kindness would make this collective experience we are all having so much easier for everyone.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I found a lot of people suffering from depression since the start of this pandemic, and sadly, that includes a friend. It is so important to take care of our mental health and to have a strong support system most especially during these days.

Depression is a hard topic but relatable to me. I know someone very closed to me who was depressed for a long time.

This is amazing. I have ate because it brings me comfort but this is such a great point of view.
👍👍
This is a sad reality and I must admit I have been engrossed with my own bubble and haven’t really taken a look around lately. Thank you for reminding us to care.
👏🏿👏🏿👍👍
With what is happening around. Indeed depression is one of the issues that we are facing right now. Not everyone can contain the sadness and even fight the problems that we are going through. We need to create awareness and extend our help as much as we could.
