Depression Is Real! 💙

One of the things that people with depression struggle with is a sense of self-identity and self-belief. And unfortunately this makes them prone to accepting the opinions of others. And lots of others when it comes to depression can be very judgmental. 💙

They can have thoughts or express views that depression doesn't exist or it's all in the mind. You can just pull your socks up, pull yourself together and things like that. So the depressed person, due to their lack of self-belief will then take on these opinions as fact and it will lead to even more sense of worthlessness and powerlessness and beating themselves up. 💙

So I just want to let you know that those judgmental opinions are not true. Depression is real, it is a physical and a mental illness and it's really important that you try to not listen to judgmental opinions. 💙

They are not helpful and they are not true. 💙
