The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

If you could create a one-pager about your experience with your condition for someone with no prior knowledge, what information would you include?

Mighties, imagine meeting someone who knows nothing about the condition you live with. If you had just one page to explain it, what information would you consider essential? Are there any myths you'd want to debunk or resources that have been particularly helpful for you?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks would share that having a mental health condition isn't something that can simply be "turned off" or healed by "trying harder." For her, NAMI (The National Alliance on Mental Illness) was an invaluable resource, providing opportunities to connect with others and share her story in community spaces to help end the stigma.

What key facts, common myths, important information, or helpful resources would you include?
