Default Jan. 28th - "Let's Talk" Mental Health Awareness

http://letstalk.bell.ca/en/

I find it admirable that Bell runs this campaign every year and would like to see more discussion generated surrounding mental health issues. As someone who has battled mental illness for most of my life and has family members who do so as well, I believe this is one of those issues that needs as much awareness as possible.

Anyways, maybe this can be a thread where people can share their experiences and those who don't know a lot about mental illness can ask questions and not be ridiculed or accused of being ignorant for doing so.

The one thing I'd like to add is, if you know someone who is struggling or you suspect is struggling with something like depression, don't assume that leaving them alone is what they want. Even simply asking someone how they're doing or if they want to talk can mean worlds to someone who's floating in the abyss.
