We are living in a community, mental health isn't taken seriously enough. Therapy is replaced by prayer. Tears are a sign of weakness. When you are different, you are told to change. And really, what does that do? It isolates desperate, vulnerable people and creates victims.
.
It took me a lot of guts for me to actually post this video on facebook, but here I am putting myself out there, in hoping it can help other people out there who happen to be struggling the same thing as me. =)
.
This is me trying to lash out all the stigma and the bullshits that been dismissing us from our mental illness. I hope it helps, and I hope all of us can really start to understand each other better. I don't know whether I did a good job at delivering the points but, idk at least am trying...
.
Here is the list of bullshits that I’ve been talking about.
.
1) Muslim cant be depressed
2) Men don't get depressed
3) Just snap out of it
4) You’re weak if you take medication for your depression.
I know am not really good at doing these videos or some sorts, but give me a chance alright? haha
