I think that depression is very real. It was only until 3 years ago before i had 2 friends who took their own life because of depression. I had no knowledge about depression then.

But I read up on it and understand how comments like

“you’re the best”, “you can do anything” or “hang in their sweetie”

can mean the whole world to them. Just a simple caring comment can change their mind from taking that step off a high-rise building.

Since then, I also follow this rule closely: 'If I have nothing nice or good to comment, I will keep my mouth shut.' The rule help me from saying stuffs which I know I will regret saying. 😅
