Sharing this important reminder from a friend who I adore, even though I see her rarely. She’s a soul sister, with a big heart and she doesn’t ask for much, but this i can do for her, in the hope that it eases her pain, and hopefully yours, or someone you love.
You're not alone, please reach out if you need to... to me

"Some people are quick to label you a sh*tty friend with no clue how broken you are and instead of understanding they just call the friendship quits.
There are many people that have a night out planned, or arrange a coffee with friends and suddenly the four walls they inhabit seem the only safe haven - because it's the only place they don't have to pretend they are ok, so they cancel. Or when they are invited out they tell them how terribly sorry they are but they’re already booked up that weekend, when they are actually just really busy holding it together in their safe box. And so the first problem starts, all by itself. People stop asking them and the isolation that, at first wasn't true becomes their only truth.
Please don't give up on your friends. Ring them, go round, even when they don't want you to. Because they really do, they just don't know how to say it.
I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic, that out of my Facebook friends that less than 5 will take the time to put this on their wall to help raise awareness for those who have mental health difficulties. You just have to copy it from my wall and paste it to yours (hold down on my post and you will be given the option to copy... then go to your status and hold down to paste).
Who will be my 5 I wonder? 🙏🏼
Thank you!
