High-functioning depression can hide behind the brightest smiles. 💔 We’ve seen heartbreaking examples: Cheslie Kryst, tWitch, and Robin Williams, individuals who seemed to have it all, yet silently battled heavy internal struggles.
The truth is, success and joy on the outside don’t always mean peace on the inside.
✨ Warning signs in a loved one may include:
• Constant self-criticism or guilt
• Seeming “too busy” or avoiding rest
• Smiling while privately withdrawing
• Exhaustion that doesn’t go away
• Subtle changes in mood, sleep, or appetite
If you notice these signs, reach out with love, patience, and consistency. Sometimes, simply asking “How are you really doing?” can open a door to healing. 🫂
Your check-in could save a life. 💚
