People continuously suffer from mental health and more often than not, it goes without a mention and the individual is victimized due to the inability to speak freely, freely to people who are open to listen.
I’ve written about speaking up before. Speaking about your troubles, your traumas, your insecurities. I can’t stress enough on how deadly dangerous mental health and depression is for any one, of any of age.
Don’t be afraid to speak up. Don’t be afraid of being judged for the person who judges you is lesser in strength that you are. Don’t be afraid to pick up that phone and make that call, you need it. Don’t be afraid to walk that extra mile because you don’t want be feel alone on that very night, just walk.
Let out your every thought to someone. Let out your every fear to someone. It can be of the least importance to someone else but you need to take that weight of your shoulders so speak up, don’t ever hold back those detrimental thoughts. Don’t ever hold back those tears. Cry if you must, it will ease the pain, I guarantee you that.
This needs to start from your very own household. Your school. Your work place. The gym. The playing field. Ask someone how their day has been. They may just need saving at that very exact moment you asked them that simple question. Always take a moment to understand more than just the words coming out from someone, but rather also the tone of the voice, their body language, these could all lead to little signs of mental health.
I’m all ears if anyone wants to talk and I’d request for everyone to be the same. 60 seconds from your day to listen to someone may just save a lifetime of sorrow and disbelief.
