During this time of isolation, our main focus is on our physical health. But, sadly, we have to focus on mental health as well. If you have people in your life suffering from depression or other mental health issues, please call them, check on their well being.

This can be a rough road for them. I have depression and anxiety, so I speak for experience. Call to say hi. Offer to drop food off. Listen.

I say this because I just learned of the suicide of a young man who was bi-polar. He suffered for many years, spoke of it often.

If any of you are familiar with the video series, Talking Kitty Cats, I am speaking of Steve Cash. The man behind Sylvester the foul mouthed but funny kitty. Steve took his life yesterday.

I firmly believe the current crisis played a role. He leaves his wife and pets behind. Reach out.

I am posting one of his many videos, as a reference. Please note, though, strong language at Times.

Thank you for your meaningful post, Marie5656......I too have depression and some anxiety. I take special note of those in my life, that could use a pick me up, try to check in on them often, email, text, or other non physical ways. They may not have depression, but i'm sure, as i am, happy to hear from someone, even for the smallest of things.
