Du bisch nid allei
Depression
Listening, understanding, acknowledging
Words that often remain unspoken
Since a podcast episode can be a major hurdle and this topic affects a person on several levels, some of those affected and their relatives have decided to write a letter to the editor.
Perhaps you'll recognize yourself in some of the lines.
Maybe you'll understand someone a little better.
And perhaps a letter will remind you of this:
You are not alone.
“No one around us knew about my mother's illness. My sister and I were on our own."
“I'm not made of porcelain, I'm sick. When I'm functioning, I can do it, and then I expect to be trusted to do so.”
“My wish is that people should be made more aware that relatives also need support.”
"There are cases where people say, “I wish I had cancer.” Of course, not because it would be better or easier, but because it is accepted in society."
