words that helped me


---

Notes
  1. ABC's recent Mental Health Week featured some helpful resources and discussion surrounding mental health here in Australia. In particular, this article is a good reminder that depression is not a monolithic illness. The words and actions in this comic are ones that various people have used to support me, but good support might look or sound different to another person who is suffering.
  2. The always brilliant Captain Awkward has some excellent and practical suggestions here for reaching out to friends who have depression. She also emphasises that it is okay to have boundaries on how much or what kind of time and care you can give somebody.
