So Ryan Marshalls update yesterday, and especially his comment (after mine and Noah Kibbes) made me think about some things, and I realized that Ryan made a really good point there. It was sort of silly by me to just congratulate Ryan and leave my thoughts about it there, because that wasnt why he made that post. It was to raise Mental Health Awareness. Now, Ryan is one of the very best friends I made during my exchange year, and one of the wisest, nicest, and most remarkable people Ive ever met. He has suffered from severe deppression, but he is - as he states in his profile picture - fighting like hell. I trust that hes gonna make it, because I know he can, and because he has friends to support him do that. So now I decided Im gonna do the very least I can, and spread some awareness. There are a lot of people that are mentally ill, yet their family and friends are not aware of it. I ask you, for the sake of yourself and people around you, do not go through it by yourself. Whatever is your burden or the size of it, there are always people you can share it with. You dont have to go through your problems alone, and there is help around you if you seek for it. *There should be no stigma!* I also ask every one of you to be there for their friends when youre needed. Thats when you measure how good of a person you are, helping a friend (or stranger) in need. #MentalHealthAwareness #endthestigma
