We see so many people every day, we are as much aware of the person next to us as we are of a random person who walked by us in the street. We can only see if a person behaves normally or not but below the skin of anyone at all, we can't possibly imagine the pain they may be in. The hurt. What's worse is when someone chooses to tell us a portion of how they feel, we feel it's "exaggerated". To the person already falling we welcome them to their death. Believe them when they tell you it crawls over their skin. It is they who feel it, so they definitely do know better.
Never think a person isn't trying. The struggle they put up to get out of bed each day is beyond believable. The pressure and the burden they hold on their shoulders is unimaginable. Never tell them to try harder. Because they are trying the best of what they know. Help them through this journey, take their hand. If they seem to have given up, doesn't mean they have. Tell them you are proud of how much strength they show and be there when they don't know what to do.
Mental illness is no joke. If there is nothing that you can do, then at least believe them when they tell you it hurts.
Also to those of us that go through hell everyday, stay strong. You are a warrior. Your pain is true. No you haven't lost your mind and help is there too. I hope you always find people that can help.
