🌧️ One bad day doesn’t define you. Mental health is a journey, not a race. Take a deep breath, focus on one step at a time, and keep moving forward.

If someone you care about is struggling with suicidal thoughts, here’s how to support them:

💜 Be present. Show them you’re there and ready to listen with care.

💜 Listen openly. Offer empathy without judgment or solutions.

💜 Validate their feelings. Remind them their pain is real and they’re not alone.

Depression can look like:
•isolating oneself
•laying in bed all day
•being visibly low/sad
•struggling to maintain hygiene/appearance

& ALSO look like:
•overcompensating with humour
•the ‘happy’ friend
•being social
•being active/high-functioning

Depression has no face.

- Laugh and smile a lot
- Look out together
- Have a caring family
- Have dreams and goals
- Have a career
- Don’t have a diagnosis or take medication
- Say positive things

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.

Mental illness is not the same on every person.

People suffering from a mental illness can have good days.

People suffering from a mental illness can smile.

People suffering from a mental illness can look happy.

Mental illness looks different on everyone.

Depression isn’t always su***de notes and pill bottles, It’s also:

- Cracking jokes or been the “class clown”
- Not showering for days at a time
- Faking a smile
- Over eating or not eating at all

Please check in on your friends, even the goofy & funny ones that hide it best.

Never underestimate the power of a conversation! A heartfelt talk, an open dialogue, or a listening ear can mend broken relationships, bridge gaps, and heal wounds. Let’s remember the magic that lies in communication, for one conversation can fix a lot.
