People in pain can be come very adept at hiding it. Whether they're reluctant to burden friends and family or to appear weak or just because they don't trust anyone enough, they keep their depression and the damage it's doing to them hidden. Sometimes we have to figure it out for ourselves or simply ASK the people we care about if how they are and LISTEN to what they don't say as much or more to what they do say. KEEP asking until they believe that we care and really want to know. Don't let the people you love suffer alone in silence and, if you're the one in pain, tell SOMEONE and get the help you deserve. We don't want to lose any more of us to this illness.
