How often do you sit at home and wish someone would ring you and suggest, well anything rather than these 4 walls?
How many of you have had a night out planned, or arranged coffee with friends and suddenly "these 4 walls" seem the only safe haven because it's the only place you don't have to pretend you are ok, so you cancel. Or when you are invited out you tell them how terribly sorry you are but you're already booked up that weekend, when you are actually just really busy holding it together in your safe box.
And so the first problem starts, all by itself , people stop asking you and the isolation that at first wasn't true becomes your only truth.
Please don't give up on your friends, ring them, go round, even when they don't want you too, because they really do they just don't know how to say it. Everyone says: "If you need anything, don't hesitate, I'll be there for you ".
I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic, that out of my Facebook friends that less than 5 will take the time to put this on their wall to help raise awareness of and for those who have mental health difficulties. You just have to copy it from my wall and paste it to yours (hold down on this post and you will be given the option to copy... then go to your status and hold down to paste).
Please write "done" under my comments when you do! I've done this for a friend for Mental Health Awareness!!
