Find the Words

This short is a brief reflection of my own experience in which my best friend found the words.

Walking in Shoes of Depression

This video is about Walking in Shoes of Depression about a young girl who feels lost and helpless. However, one of her closest friends seemed concerned. All her friends happen to read notes from a box she left behind. They come to find out by reading the notes she doesn’t feel like she belongs on earth anymore. As a result, as a group, they went to check up on her to show she is not alone and show her distractions, love, and support! She doesn’t have to walk alone in shoes of depression.

You Aren’t Alone

I chose this category because I’ve seen many of my loved ones struggle with their mental health, and some even lose their battle against it. My sister has never been one to open up and talk to people about her issues, and that eats her up inside. Doing research and digging into more details about this matter has helped me learn how to carefully approach people like my sister, and get them to open up about it a little bit.
