It’s okay to not be okay
Feeling down or isolated happens to everyone.
In fact, one in three people will go through a significant depressive episode, and nearly all of us encounter life crises. If you’re grappling with intense emotional or physical discomfort, it’s important to recognise that your perspective may be skewed by this pain. If thoughts of suicide are on your mind, remember that what you’re seeking is a way to alleviate your pain—and help is within reach.
