I've struggled with it actually like any
pastor I'll talk about it it's not
really talked about too much so people
don't want to come out and say like oh I
think I might be depressed I think this
is something that we should look into it
can be scary to ask for help for like
intimidating or like shameful it's okay
to acknowledge the fact that you are
depressed and it's like a personal issue.
but people don't know like that a lot of
people feel that way or go through hey
guys sorry to interrupt is it okay to
talk about depression I think you can
affect anybody even if they don't have
it right now I can always affect them
later on in the future when they really
see like a traumatic experience or
something crazy like that that can also
bring in depression question Lake
doesn't have like a stereotype or a face
it's more common than people think it
happens more frequently to a wide range
of people just reach out to as many
people as you can because because you do
matter and it's not going to bother
anyone what you do say it doesn't matter
and I know that other people once you do
reach out to them they're going to try
and reach out back and once you start
forming those relationships then you can
work and maybe even help other people
have different as well
people who get depressor or are
depressed or probably probably should
seek help and seek you know a doctor and
their help as well
just so you know I think and be less
depressing you know I have a positive
outlook on life and it's definitely okay
to talk about depression
if you don't you definitely holding it
in and can't okay get it definitely
think that we should be talking about
depression on campus because once you
make the entire campus more aware and
once you have that community we can you
can kind of come together to help those
students who might have depression or
just be there for other people our reach
to other people
definitely a topic that people are
afraid to discuss if people know that
others around them suffer from the same
illness or symptoms they wouldn't be as
afraid to speak about the topic
depression is like constipation ah she
should let it out not hold it in
so I think depression is very prevalent
problem the World Health Organization
says by 2030 it's gonna be the number
one cause of disability and even death
so I think it's it's not something
that's uncommon it's it's something
that's you know potentially will be more
common than any other illness you know
from cancers to you know accidents to
heart disease to anything really so we
can start to by raising awareness on the
grassroots up like on a college campus
I think that'll really help you know
dampen the severity of any kind of
illness in anybody down one it's just as
if you have to treat any other sort of
illness or sickness it's a process you
have to learn how to rethink you have to
do things to sort of lift you up out of
that dark hole that you might be in it's
good to talk about it
that way people that are in their shell
about it like I'm saying like afraid a
bit of talking about it if they see more
people talking about it it will help
them I guess talk about it more and in
the end I'll end up helping themselves
it's okay these feelings and a lot of
people nobody really asks for help and
it's okay to ask for help
I think getting treatment one way or
another is going to be the staple or the
bread-and-butter to what you should be
doing so therapy and/or medications but
also kind of the you know that would be
the bread and butter but you still want
some Jam you still want some eggs maybe
some you know some orange juice on your
on your table so that's where your
lifestyle design has to come in surround
yourself with good and good people and
make good things happen surround
yourself by positive energy
you are the only one that can take care
of yourself and
there's only one life to live so take
care of yourself let's to know that
you're not alone everyone two of you
even though you don't think like they
might not be I'm always here
any last words let it out guys
you
