Depression and mental health is a struggle and each person suffers from their own darkness, speaking up asking for help is the courage to live. Our scars remind us where we have been but do not have to define our future. Conversations are powerful for removing the stigma of ‘weakness’ . Be curious with family and friends who may be suffering and experiencing depression or other mental health problems such as PTSD. The added stress of silence or looking weak keeps people in the darkness and from speaking and asking for help. End suicide by ending the silence.
