Check on your strong friend
Those who are always there for others or have it all together, need help and support too.
Always check on your strong friend because everyone is used to them being strong minded and wearing that smile. They wear this mask daily(or sometimes) because they don't want people to think that they are weak because they are struggling with their mental health.
One thing that annoys me about menatl health speculation is that people believes someone can't suffer from mental illness because he looks happy or always smiling, laughing, cracking jokes. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
Lift others up you never know what they are going through behind the closed doors. Let's all remember to ask people, "how they are?". Most people with depression greet you with a smile on the outside but it doesn't show what they are feeling on the inside.
And if you are that strong person/ friend and sometimes you want to speak your heart out. But then you realize you're termed as the cool guy/girl; you wear the mask and smile. But sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take the mask off. Remind yourself that sometimes it's okay to take the mask off and that's it's okay to not okay.
Infact check in on anyone who you believe needs it.
