Why is it that you call for a doctor immediately if your kid gets hurt physically? But if y had stress in ir mind, you just give one lecture and say “think positive”. Taking help from a doctor or a consular for mental health is as important as it is for any or pain. re is shame in it. matter how much I talk about it, it is you who have to think that your life is most precious thing. If you have any stress that talking it out is great, do t keep it inside of you. Talk to eir friends or family. I need a promise that whatever tension is you will search for a solution, re is always a solution and suicide is absolutely t it”.
