Just saying "Cheer up" doesn't help
Just saying "Cheer up" doesn't help
Story
Mental illness is a common thing, but for some reason we don't talk about it enough. People you know, people in your life now, could be suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia - and they won't want to talk about it because they are ashamed or scared or don't know where to begin. They can't get out of bed, they can't understand why they feel this way, they can't manage simple daily tasks or maintain normal relationships because they have an illness and it needs to be treated. Just saying "Cheer up" doesn't help. We need to acknowledge and try to understand and offer genuine support.
There is help out there, but there needs to be more. I have decided to make a difference by taking part in The Color Run and raising money for Beyond Blue so that they can do all the real work. I am also trying to make a difference myself by talking about it. I want to help remove the stigma of mental illness, because maybe if there was no shame, people would never be afraid to seek help. Neither of these things seems to be enough, but it is what I have got.
Please support my efforts by making a secure online donation and a message of support. And look out for the people around you. Don't let them suffer alone, and don't just ignore their pain. You could also help me to fundraise by joining my fundraising team.
I would also really appreciate it if you could 'Like' and share my page above or comment below so more people know about it.
Click 'Donate Now' to make a secure online donation and help me reach my target. I would welcome any contribution, great or small, that you could make!
Thanks so much for your support!

Beyond Blue Ltd
Most Australians have some experience with anxiety and depression or related disorders, whether it is personal or via family, friends or work colleagues. Beyond Blue’s work is aimed at achieving an Australian community that understands depression and anxiety, empowering all Australians, at any life-stage, to seek help. Beyond Blue raises awareness, reduces stigma and ensures people have access to the information they need to support recovery, management and resilience.
Beyond Blue is a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation and a bipartisan initiative of the Australian, state and territory governments.
Beyond Blue works in partnership with health services, schools, workplaces, universities, media and community organisations, as well as people living with depression/anxiety and their carers, to bring together expertise and provide tools and resources.
For information on depression, anxiety and related disorders, available treatments and where to get help, visit www.beyondblue.org.au, call Beyond Blue info line: 1300 22 4636 (local call cost from a landline), or email /infoline@beyondblue.org.au
