Mental illnesses run so much deeper than sadness.

Sometimes, people lose control of their decisions and emotions.

Sometimes, people lose touch with reality and act recklessly.

Sometimes, people will do ANYTHING to stop the voices or the paranoia or the hallucinations.

Sometimes, people lose the battle.

And never does anyone understand who hasn’t lived it themselves.

If you don’t know how it feels, then listen.

Empathy may be out of the question….

But sympathy is universal.
