When someone opens up about their mental illness (I'm gonna add, about anything, their struggles, pains and hurts). Don't debate it. Don't question it. Don't give your opinion.

Calm down is something many of us hear when triggered or experiencing intense emotions, but the Truth is it isn't helpful. Being told to calm down sounds dismissive. It sounds a lot like you're being dramatic or overacting.

We've heard of the word sympathy. Simply put, sympathy is when we have common feelings of sadness or pity for and with someone else.

We'll never completely agree with another person on everything. Not even our partner or best friend. Of the nearly 8 billion people in the world right now, there's not a single person like you.

Even though we're all different, we owe everyone love.
