My father took his life shortly after this photo was taken. Check in on your people #depression

My father ended his life two weeks after my 10th birthday.

He didn’t show any signs of mental illness or depression because he was very good at masking his pain.

We need to check in on our people, no matter how they present. Because even though we might not see the signs, that doesn’t mean they’re not there.

Talk to the people you love often and honestly. It’s how we ensure everyone is paying attention and no one ever has to feel alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please call 988 for
help.
