It can happen to anybody

by Victor   Jan 7, 2018


I've seen something strange happen lately
When I see people talk about depression, they talk about girls
Girls hurting and degrading themselves
Girls killing themselves
It makes me feel left out
I'm suffering too, but no one seems to care
It's always the girls who get the most attention
While it invisibly happens to boys as well

    A thought provoking piece. I think the problem is that girls tend to talk more openly about how they feel where as boys tend to keep things bottled up. Maybe because they think it makes them appear weak. The truth is unless a person whatever their gender is brave enough to reach out for help and share their feelings nobody will know that they need help. I think this is an important subject you have raised because as you point out men get depressed too. Best wishes Milly x
