However, a majority of social media users empathised with the suicide attempt victim, saying;
. If you know someone with depression, providing them encouragement, motivation, and support can go a long way to giving them hope im not sure if telling someone who suffers from depression thats it’s OK. It’s OK to feel what you’re feeling. It’s OK to ask for help. It’s OK to want to be alone. It’s OK to scream and cry and it’s OK to laugh is the right thing, I mean true friends will be there to talk, to help and sometimes just to sit with you and not say anything.
