Remember Book tokens?

[Rachel @OpenMindMH]

Remember when World Book Day wasn't an expensive plastic-fest, and the Scholastic Book Fair came to your school and you were allowed out of class early to go and choose a book with your £1 book token?

Those were the days

Depression is really no joke, you can see someone smiling but inside they are dying. Just a reminder to be kind to everyone you come into contact with this week

[Chloe Bellerby @ChloeBellerbyMH]

People who are suicidal can still:
- socialise
- exercise
- smile and laugh
- eat and sleep well
- be successful
- have goals for their life
- look like they aren’t suicidal

I don't know who needs to hear this but... if you're thinking about giving up, remember in 2 years you could be marrying someone you haven't met yet. In 2 years you could have a job at a company you haven't heard of that makes you happy. In 2 years you could be on your way to buying a home you never thought that you could afford. In 2 seconds you could be happy again. In 10 years you could be watching your kids growing up. But you'll never know unless you get there. If you want to give up don't. Go for walk/run. Gather yourself and remember it's a bad time not a bad life, you'll get through this trust me.

[Chloe Bellerby @ChloeBellerbyMH]

Every single person is going through a lot right now. Literally everyone. Just be kind ❤️

You'd be surprised at how many times a man sits in his car, on his bed, in the bathroom, in the living room and holds in his tears because he's so stressed or lost or confused or hurt or ready to give up...

But when he shows his face again he looks perfectly fine, unbothered and he still manages to smile and go about his business like nothing happened...

Men are some of the most resilient, overlooked, and in the mind underappreciated to go through so much...

You are the glue that holds everything and everyone together, your very presence is power, when you speak it resonates and yet your silence is deafening in all that you go through as you fight for not only who you are but who you are striving to be.

When you can't win the day, just keep winning the moment!! It starts from the inside out!!!

Stay strong lads

If it gets too much just talk, you're not the only one!

[Benny James @Beno_ldn]

Just a quick message to any of your mates that are feeling depressed...

Don’t fucking ply them with alcohol, don't give them a line, you might think you're helping but you really aren't.

Because when the parties over, they then have to sit alone in their own thoughts and feelings.. don't be that friend.

Put your kettle on, sober them up, listen to them, ring the fucking crisis team if you have to, stay up all night whilst they sleep.

Far too many people trying to be the right friends are getting it all so wrong! My doors always open, my kettles always on. I'll always have an ear to bend. Believe me you're never alone.

[Motherwell FC @MotherwellFC]

When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held on for so long.

Life is worth living, for the special moments that can be cherished together.

You’re loved and people want you in their life.
