I’m here for you whenever you need me. I sympathize. I’m listening. You are not alone. If you need a hug, I’m here. Tell me how you’re getting on. I love you. I may not understand, but I care. Is there anything I can do to help? I’m sorry to hear things aren’t going so well.

Depression is most common among 18 to 25 year olds, the pessure put on by relationships, education, finanical debt and job insecuritiy can often make a young adult feel isolated. It can make you irrationally angry at the smallest of things, running out of toothpaste in the morning for instance - so you give up and hibenate back to you bed for the forseeable future. How are you supposed to become a sucessful and fully qualfied adult with a job and a mortage and pay taxes with this hanging over you? Hey?!
If it is attention seeking and self shame, then why do you single people out when they do come forward about having a serious mental illness, because ‘What do they have to be sad about?’ Right? Right. I mean, come on, other people have it worse everyday, you have a good family, a job, studying towards a degree, what is there to be sad about? The worry of failing, someone else getting that ‘dream job’, fear of letting your family down, that feeling of worthlessness when you wake up in the morning.

no goals.’
