Yes for some reason it is a stigma to even say “I have depression”. At the beginning I did not say anything because I didn’t know I have it. I keep telling people I broke down sobbing middle of the mall, while driving, not knowing why or what’s wrong. It took another friend who had depression to come to me and told me I have depression.
Many people mistaken depression an illness for those who are always unhappy with their life. In fact the happiest person is the easy target. It just happen. No explanation on why or how. I think maybe we, the happiest person are a perfectionist. We tend to overthink things.

Glad to hear you love the shirt and the quotes. Hugs!

Really inspiring how you decided to start this campaign. I had depression for many years and did not know it. The stigma was that being depressed is wrong and bad and it was only until recently that people started accepting depression as something that do happen to the happiest of people. I am glad that I have overcome depression and a happier person today. This is definitely a great campaign to not only create awareness and fight against depression but also to let those out there facing this problem that they are not alone. Love the quotes that you choose for the t-shirts too. *hugs*

I am just a phone call or text away. Whatsapp me if you need to talk ok? I still remember our lunch a few months ago. The part where you ask me “you’re thinking you’re going crazy right?” sums this up.

Oh yes. Quite a number of people are telling me “I’m depressed”. I don’t think they even know. Being unhappy is not being in depression. Depression takes unhappiness to a whole new level. Baby steps. Thanks again! xoxo
