I'm not gonna lie @Emily-RO I found that kinda cringy to watch and had to turn it off lol Like I get it, I do. But not everyone is just gonna open up to that question or even answer honestly, especially on a day like that where it seems like that's the only reason someone is asking and I just feel like there's a lot that's gotta go into it but I understand its a process and the day probably does help some people which is good. I'm just not exactly a fan of it and idk I just feel like people are only asking it and making a big thing out of it to make themselves look good and like they are checking in on someone and idk. I know it helps people and quite possibly does save lives so I'll shut up now. I just always feel more alone on days like it for some reason and I'm just relieved to hear I'm not the only one cause I know it's meant to be a good thing but yeah. I just feel weird about it. I do like your 3 tips you gave your loved ones though!! I really think its something they should be teaching in schools from an early age. How to check in on someone, the importance of it and that mental illness is not something people choose to have, nor should others be scared about.
@StormySeas17 I'm sorry it was also a tough day for you 💙 I like what you said about it not being deep enough for those who are seriously struggling. You are so right!!! It is very surface level and doesn't exactly feel genuine. But I actually never realised that's how it started. I kinda feel bad for bagging it out now 🙃 But I do like the way you reason with it. And I agree, although its not a day for all of us, I do see the good in it that is does help some people and that counts for something for sure. I just wish people would learn to ask the question without needing a day for it that's all.
