RE: The Day I Lost a Friend to Suicide

in #mental-health7 years ago

This is so painful. Depression really sucks and most of the people that surround a depressed person can't detect it or don't know how to handle a depressed person. I hope everyone must learn how to deal with depression to help ourselves and others too...

A simple "hi" or a tap on a shoulder can somehow ease one's pain.

Yes, you're right. Maybe we can do little things to ease other people's pain. I also hope that Depression, as well as other mental disorders, will not be stigmatized in the society anymore. Thanks, @marionsden!

Welcome, @mind-candy. Yup, I do hope the society can have a paradigm shift in mental disorders. Let's fight depression by being there for our depressed friends. . . in our little ways, we can. I really appreciate your post, a sad story but also a wake-up call to all of us to be aware of depression.

Keep smiling, you might not know it but there are many people out there who love seeing your smile.
