Please be mindful and supportive of your friends and family when they tell you they are struggling with depression. It’s literally soul cancer and there is no chemotherapy or surgical procedure for it. It spares no one. Love & acceptance are among the very few things that help.

Just a little bit of my story. It’s taking me a lot to press the “send tweet” button but I know if I can touch at least 1 life. It’s worth it. pic.twitter.com/xqXOh2m6T0
