Look most of my friends are going through or have gone through depression. Some of them, used it for attention. Some of them, used it to be cool. Some of them weren't diagnosed. Some of them thought it was funny to pull a prank on me and my one friend saying they were going to commit suicide. One of them, takes it seriously. One of them, needs help and comfort. One of them, even though they know I am ignorant but will talk to me, and i can talk to them. I may not know what any of them are seeking, or going through, but I just want them to be okay. In the right state of mind. The one who pulled a prank, I loved, and I know for a fact they went through a lot since they were really young. So that's why I believed it. At one point I was about to sprint to their house. But it was a joke. It was only a harmless prank they said. Well no it wasn't. It wasn't at all. And I know for a fact, that some of you reading have depression, but I want to know. Do you take it seriously or abuse it? If you abuse it, then your one of the reasons it is hard for me to trust others when they say they need help. Honestly, if you are lying about it to my face, I will believe you every time. And every time they laugh in my face saying it was a joke and do it over and over again. I will still believe you. If you take it seriously and actually need help. Please, you can talk to me, even if I don't know you, I can get to you if makes you feel more comfortable. There is only one think I know is hard to answer in depression. That is the question, "Are you ok?" How can you answer this question? If you say yes they wont believe you and pry. If you say no, they will ask you what's wrong? And pry farther. If you don't answer they will think something is definitely wrong and constantly bug and asking other people what is wrong with Y/n. If you honest to God see someone crying and sitting in a corner or you know for a fact there is something wrong, then you go up to the person and say "Hey, I don't know what you are going through, but it WILL be okay." You will let them cry and stay with them even if no one else notices or they don't say anything. Just be there. And one more thing if you think you're ugly or you cant see you're something beautiful. Then SMASH the mirror you have and buy a better one. Because you have the wrong mirror if you can see you are amazing and beautiful for who you are. We all have flaws, we all have things we hate. So why make fun of others for it? When you have the same issue. If someone were to come up to me and make fun of me, I would say, "Hey, are you alright, is something going on?" Because half the time your bully, is going through what you are and is trying to forget it or something is wrong at home. Even if no one is there for you. Just know someone will and if you need to talk. I'm here. Someone is here for you. Just know that.
