Sometimes depression is like the movies show it to be. Someone dressed in black, unable to leave their bed or shower. Everyone around them knows they are depressed. For many people though it is not. It is leaving for work every morning. It is showering, dressing brightly and appearing well put together. It can be jokey, funny and wear a smile. Some people wear it differently. Listen for the undertones, ask your people how they really are. Take the time to just be with them. And if you are the person who feels deflated within but looks bright externally, could this be your nudge to let someone know? Tell a safe other. Be brave, you can do it. #emotionalintelligence #depressionhelp #therapy #therapistsofinstagram #kptherapy
