This Is Your Journey Jasmine Badge

People might not understand your depression because you have more food, you have roof over your head and fresh water compared to less fortunate people in the world … and often (which I believe is the most painful one) you hear this, ‘So many people care about you and love you’. They’ll say, “Look at all you have; you have nothing to be depressed about.” I am telling you now, you are more than just your physical needs and that alone is not enough to guarantee wellness. You may not be physically hungry, but your inner self might be lost, confused and starving. Give yourself the permission to feel whatever it is that you feel as you work it all out. Remember, this is your journey. No one else can justify or invalidate your emotions about it. But first, seek help before you seek understanding from other PEOPLE! ~ JB
