You are enough, and it's okay to ask for help, especially from your loved ones. Your story is not over yet!

Whether it occurs in schools, workplaces, or online, bullying can lead to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, and other mental health challenges.

Let's start normalizing conversations about mental illness so people suffering in silence can feel safe and comfortable asking for help. We can break the stigma by speaking up and offering a helping hand.

  • A woman smiling with her arms crossed against a wall, with a text overlay that says, "In her name depression can look like this. Check on your loved ones," and a website URL at the bottom.

    People with depression often feel pressured to mask their genuine emotions due to stigma, fear of judgment, or a desire not to burden others. They may put on a brave face, smile, and say they're fine when, in reality, they are fighting a silent battle within. "People don't fake depression; they fake being okay." Please reach out to your friends and loved ones, not just when they admit they are feeling down, but when they seem perfectly okay as well. Sometimes, the people who seem the happiest are the ones who need our support the most. We must create a safe space where people feel comfortable discussing their mental health without fear of judgment or rejection.

I often find myself wondering what we might be doing at this very moment if you STAYED. Would we be enjoying a movie night, strolling along the beach, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen for your dad, going on new adventures in different countries, or planting colorful flowers around our home? It's a question that lingers, and then reality sets in, reminding me that you're no longer with us. But like the symbolism of a semicolon, signifying continuity, I always carry you in my heart and mind, treasuring the moments we once enjoyed through the love and memories we made.

It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood". (CDC, 2021) To boost your mental well-being: 1. Relax and reduce stress. 2. Cultivate creativity and acquire new knowledge. 3. Immerse yourself in nature. 4. Engage in physical activity. 5. Prioritize sufficient sleep. 6. Foster social connections. 7. Practice mindfulness.

Pay attention to their words, let them know they are heard, and they'll tell you where and how they're hurting. Let's start normalizing conversations about mental health so suicide is no longer an option.

    Keeping your true emotions hidden can weigh you down, especially when dealing with mental health challenges. There is a common misunderstanding that mental health issues are a sign of weakness or personal failure, which can make you feel ashamed and embarrassed about what you're going through. Many folks feel they have to pretend they're doing just fine, even when they're not. But remember, opening up and seeking help when needed is okay. There's strength in sharing your struggles with someone you trust.

  • Collage of photos from the AFSP WPB Community Walk 2023, showing participants walking, registration tables, and promotional materials for the event supporting mental health awareness.

    On September 30th, we took part in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Community Walk for Kathy and those who tragically lost their lives to suicide. It marked our second year joining this meaningful event. Arriving at the parking lot, I felt an overwhelming sense of wishing this reality away. Yet, it was all too real—the posters and signs, the individuals wearing t-shirts adorned with pictures of their departed loved ones, the array of colored beaded necklaces, and the tears streaming down people's faces. The opening ceremony remained a blur except for one profoundly moving moment. A young lady took to the stage to recite a heartfelt poem, and as she did, people around the stage began blowing bubbles. Time seemed to stand still, and at that moment, all I could think about was how much Kathy would have loved the performance and those bubbles. The walk itself was both a fleeting and significant experience. Along the journey, participants engaged in heartfelt conversations, shared stories of their dearly departed, shed tears of collective grief, and found solace in smiling as they reminisced about cherished moments with their lost loved ones. For some, the walk may be just that—a walk. But for many, it serves a greater purpose: to raise awareness, extend support to those facing mental health battles, and provide solace for those who have tragically lost someone to suicide. AFSP offers a wide range of resources and community programs designed to assist individuals and their loved ones with mental health challenges. If you need support, please look at the resources available at https://afsp.org/.

  • A heartfelt quote about love and longing by Michelle Boodoo, set against a gradient blue background with small hearts and the phrase "IN HER NAME" in the top right corner.

    Kathy had a deep passion for poetry. She and I would immerse ourselves in reading and writing verses, and we often tried to decipher the meanings. Recently, I came across a poem about looking for loved ones after they passed away, and it reminded me of a poem I penned for Kathy back in April. As I share this poem, I wish it reaches someone who needs it by offering solace and peace.

    If you're searching for a reason to keep going, THIS IS THAT REASON. You are more than enough, and your presence holds significance in this world. Don't hesitate to reach out to your loved ones if you're facing mental health challenges. Remember, it's perfectly fine if all you do today is breathe because your life matters.

    Your mental well-being matters, and discussing your thoughts, feelings, and struggles with someone you trust can be the first step toward healing. You're not alone in this journey; seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. It is incredibly important to talk about your mental health, and we need to start breaking the stigma around mental health, one conversation at a time, so that people are not afraid or ashamed to ask for help.

The emotions you're feeling are like passing waves, and when they become too tumultuous, your loved ones can help and support you. Please let them know your feelings and the depth of your anguish. Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do.

If you're facing depression, you don't have to go through it alone. Reach out to your doctor, a mental health expert, or a trusted friend or family member. Depression is treatable, and seeking assistance is the crucial first step towards healing. Always remember experiencing depression doesn't make you weak, and there's no shame in seeking help.

Learn the signs and symptoms and check on your loved ones before it’s too late. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but common signs include a persistent sad or empty mood, feelings of hopelessness, lack of interest in activities once enjoyed, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and changes in appetite or sleep patterns. In some cases, depression can also lead to thoughts of suicide or self-harm.

However, being kind, patient, and understanding can be priceless to someone suffering in secret.

  • A smiling woman with curly hair holding a white coffee mug that has the text 'IN HER NAME' and heart illustrations. The image features a message about mental health awareness and self-care.

    People with depression tend to feel ashamed or scared to ask for help, leading them to pretend to smile, laugh, listen, etc. Everything might look fantastic on the outside, but they are slowly slipping away on the inside. Learn the signs and symptoms and check on your loved ones before it’s too late. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but common signs include a persistent sad or empty mood, feelings of hopelessness, lack of interest in activities once enjoyed, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and changes in appetite or sleep patterns. In some cases, depression can also lead to thoughts of suicide or self-harm. If you or someone you know is in a crisis, get help immediately. Call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.

It is a treatable condition, and seeking help is the first step toward recovery. Remember, depression is not a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of.
