Yes, it seems to pick on anyone for no apparent reason. I'm really trying to understand it more and to get that it's an illness because a few years ago my thoughts would have been "what have you got to be depressed about?"
I'm fine, hope you are too? The person wasn't a friend. I think I was trying to say that someone can project an image of being happy and successful when inside they're falling apart. I have never suffered from actual depression, but I do try to be alert to other peoples (if that makes sense?)...
Someone I was aware of (didn't actually know them) died recently. I found out last night that they took their own life and had struggled with MH issues for a long time.
They were young, talented and successful ..... I'm stunned.
