Words to avoid with someone facing depression:
• 'It’s just in your mind'
• 'Why don’t you snap out of it?'
• 'Life’s tough for everyone'
• 'Some have it harder than you'
• 'Have you tried exercising?'
• 'You seem fine to me'
• 'We all feel down sometimes'

Hands up if your mental illness has:

-made you lose/gain weight
-made it impossible to leave the house
-made it hard to sleep at night
-made you have suicidal ideation
-made life not feel worth living
-made you lose friends/family

We see you, We hear you. You are not alone

Individuals facing mental health challenges are not:

• Overreacting
• Unmotivated
• Without hope
• Damaged
• A nuisance
• Fragile
Or
• Craving attention

Rather than tearing them down, offer understanding, encouragement, and the strength they deserve to rise above.

Self-doubt can be a heavy shadow, creeping in when you least expect it. It whispers lies about your worth, your abilities, and your potential.

But here’s the truth: it’s just a voice, not a verdict. Everyone feels it—yes, even the people you admire.

The difference? They push through.

Acknowledge the doubt, but don’t let it drive. Take one small step forward, then another. Each action builds proof you’re capable.

You’re not your fears; you’re the courage that outlasts them. Keep going.

You can feel lost inside while still guiding others with a steady hand.

You can carry grief and still light up a room with your laughter.

You can fight silent wars and still show up as the strongest person people know.

You never truly see the storms someone is weathering beneath their surface.

Sending love to everyone battling those heavy, quiet struggles in their mind. You might feel invisible, like no one sees or gets it, but you're not alone. Keep holding on—through the darkest nights, there's a dawn waiting for you. You got this.

Depression is NOT just sadness.

- It’s a living nightmare, far beyond a fleeting emotion.

- Comparing it to sadness is like comparing a paper cut to a broken leg.

- Sadness is a normal part of life; depression eats away at you from the inside out.

Let’s raise awareness and support those struggling.

Mental health is a journey that looks different for everyone. Each person’s experience is a unique tapestry woven from their struggles and triumphs, all equally valid in the pursuit of understanding and healing.
