Some that are depressed don't want to die. Some don't cut. I know that all those who feel depressed do not just feel sadness. We feel self-loathing, we feel numbness, we feel happiness... it just happens that when people hear depression, they think about someone who is sad all of the time.

Now, I am blessed to have a family that's supportive, but some others? Sometimes some of us hear the words 'Snap out of it' or something else. We can't just snap out of it!

Depression isn't always easy to spot, it hard to know if someone's feeling depressed! Messy room, slouched posture, wonky sleeping and eating patterns, an addiction to their cellphones, overworking themselves, having trouble to get out of bed because what was even the point?

Anti-depressants aren't going to magically cure the person from depression either. It takes time to fix something.

And then there's bullying... do you think a simple sorry would ever heal someone's mind? Do you think that harming someone mentally or physically is ok?? Words can kill. And if we're not careful, we may be the cause. Even if you meant it as a joke. Emotions they feel might mean nothing to you, but they can mean everything to them.

And one last thing— don't ever shame someone for wanting bad things upon themselves. I get that cutting yourself is bad, but don't you ever be mad or shame them for something they can't control. They didn't ask to be this way.
