hey, a tip to those of you who have mentally ill friends  ~
if your friend is very upset, having a breakdown, depressed or otherwise not mentally well, don’t default to giving them space. while many people need or want space when they’re upset, for others it can make them feel isolated, unsupported or like you don’t want to be around them when they aren’t okay. ask if space is what they need, don’t assume it is
