#COPIED Hey, let's talk about DEPRESSION…

1. Stop ignoring that ex-best friend who suddenly went broke after losing a job or business. Reach out.

2. That single mother playing independent is not as fine as she may seem….

Her child sleeps hungry. Her bills are killing her. She is in debt. No, she won't tell you lest you ask her for sex in return. She is not fine. Reach out.

3. That jobless drunk brother of yours who the whole family branded 'useless' could be a drunk for convenience. Reach out.

4. That beautiful woman who you think has it all...good job, nice body, a face everyone loves. No, her inbox is not crowded. And she is not fine. Reach out.

5. Your girlfriend who suddenly became lazy, withdrawn & irritable. Don't cheat on her. She is depressed. Reach out.

6. That jovial, high-spirited colleague of yours is not fine. He says he is fine, but he is not. Reach out.
7. Pos-natal depression is real. She endured the 9 months pregnancy, labor pains and it all.Your wife is not suddenly nagging. She is depressed.Reach out

8. Suicide is not a selfish act. Reminding a depressed soul that suicide will only transfer their pain to others is selfish,insensitive&for lack of a better word, EXTREMELY Selfish.When one resolves to suicide, trust me, they are no longer thinking about the pain.They want peace

They are tired of your judgmental stares. They are tired of you ignoring them. They are tired of being a bother to you. There is no pain in death. Depression seeks that peace. Reach out.

And no, a bottle of whiskey is not reaching out.

And Pay bills, after one has already committed suicide, is HYPOCRITICAL.

Those goodwill messages after one is gone are pure Hypocrisy. Reach out to the living the dead sees no GOOD.

Check on people before it is too late!!
