Depression make you feel like a total nuisance at times, so it’s not surprising that these flippant comments do not help.  Although a lot of the time these words have been said by complete strangers, they still cut deeply.  

  Each month we recognize different causes. October was National Bullying Prevention Month, as we enter November, a new initiative of STOMP Out Bullying™ is National #BlockItOutDay. The goal of this day is to block negativity from our digital lives and, by doing so, end cruelty, homophobia, LGBTQ discrimination, racism, hatred and online violence.
