I emphasize with this one. In some of the depression support group that I am in we were assigned a partner who would share our darkness.
The Philippines is one of those countries that mental issues like depression are not taken seriously by the public.
We ar left to understand and care for our own kind. The hardest thing to do is to wait patiently on the other line as you call your partner and they don't pick up.
You hurry to their house always expecting the worse. Some of the others don't make it. The demons in their head eventually win making harder on those that resolve to live on.
Steemit has been wonderful with keeping me busy with community building with @ ankarlie with @steemitfamilyph and also with scouting for @promo-mentors.
It is not the long term solution but what's important is I am here now. I am not okay but hopefully I will be.
