     Depression is one of the most misunderstood and invisible struggles people face. Unlike a physical injury, it doesn’t show up with a cast or stitches. It hides behind forced smiles, unanswered texts, and the quiet withdrawal of someone you love.

You may not have all the answers, but your presence, your patience, and your willingness to walk beside someone in the dark can be more healing than you realize.      This isn’t a manual. It’s a deeply human guide. An offering for those who want to help — not by fixing, but by holding space, offering light, and reminding someone that they are not alone.
