Last Saturday, when I was surfing the net, I caught myself watching videos about depression and all those mental illnesses that I am familiar with, maybe because of boredom. After watching different videos, I realized that I was so empty-headed about all of those things. I did not expect that those illnesses can have "that" negative effect. I never thought that it can become a monster and consume the whole being.
What hit me the most was that video about depression, it's animated but it has that message that can open our hearts and minds. Some people may say to those suffering that "it's just all in your head" but no, you don't understand until you've experienced it yourself.
All we know about depression is about being sad, hopeless or worthless. We did not know that depression is a "real" illness that impacts the brain. It is not imaginary. It is more than anything that anyone feels. Do you think they like their situation? Do you think they did not do anything just to overcome that monster growing inside of them? Well, think twice because they are all trying there best just to survive those voices they hear.
I am writing this because I want everyone to be aware about those people battling about this illness that they need you. They need someone to be there for them, someone whom they can talk to and to help them cope with whatever situation they have.
By the way, this was the video I was referring to.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCrniLQGYc
