Hidden behind masks the illness is silent and invisible. For the person who is struggling with depression or anxiety the battle is real. It can be like Sleeping with the Enemy.
Be understanding and patient with the person struggling with their fears. Dealing with depression and anxiety is difficult, so do not add more problems.
I intend to keep fighting. For my own mental health yes, but for others too. I want there to be a day when people don’t call me brave for sharing my story.
