In addition to these, two other major causes could be:

• Stigma Silences Struggles
  Many people hide their mental health issues due to fear of judgment, making it harder to seek help.

• Lack of Awareness Masks Warning Signs
  Loved ones often miss signs of suicidal thoughts simply because they don’t know what to look for.

"Loneliness, health problems, financial dependence, and losing loved ones weigh heavily on us."

These challenges can feel overwhelming, but help and hope are within reach.

"Why is everyone expecting me to be perfect at everything?

My CHILDHOOD is getting lost in these EXPECTATIONS!!!

"I want to speak up—but admitting I have mental health issues makes me fear being seen as weak or ‘less of a man’."

This stigma keeps many from seeking the help they truly need. It’s time to change the narrative—seeking support is strength, not weakness.

"I give my best to everyone—but no one seems to notice or appreciate my efforts."

Feeling unseen can be deeply painful. You deserve to be heard, valued, and supported.

"My family and friends don’t truly understand me—and it hurts."
Career pressure, relationships, and appearance worries weigh me down more than anyone realizes.

You’re not alone. Your feelings are valid, and support is available.

Feeling low, lost, or emotionally drained?
Struggling with depression, relationship or family issues, or feeling hopeless, helpless, worthless or stuck?
Do you feel overwhelmed, confused, or emotionally used—but can’t quite explain why?
Too much mind chatter keeping you restless?

Not sure if you need professional help?
