HOPE for YOU

If you know anyone suffering from Depression and/or other Mental Health disabilities, PLEASE, direct them to Natasha Goulbourn Foundation.

To those who are in emotional crisis and in need of immediate assistance, please contact
the 24/7 HOPELINE at:

(02) 804-HOPE (4673)
0917 558 HOPE (4673)
2919 (toll-free number for all GLOBE and TM subscribers)

(Please note that these numbers are only available inside the Philippines. If you are in another location and are feeling suicidal, PLEASE, call any of the following numbers listed in this link.)

Depression is real. It's not just an emo phase or a mood swing. Stop telling people to get over it, or that it'll just go away. Be one of the reasons they stay. Don't shrug it off.

According to the World Health Organization, it is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. Globally, there are more than 300 million people of all ages that suffer from depression, that, if not treated, could even lead to suicide – the second leading cause of death among 15 to 29 years old around the world in 2015.

Please, just please. Listen to them. If they show any signs, please offer them support. Show them love. Give them a hug. Tell them it's not their fault. That they are worth it. That it's going to be okay.


Hello.

If you need someone to talk to, I will be your friend. Reach me at Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

We'll get through this. TOGETHER. I pray that you are not hurting.

Stay strong,

DANA
