Just me trying to keep up with these trends online! The next thing infiltrating my news feed this week is people posting a selfie with a line about preventing depression and suicide awareness. This is fair enough and certainly a topic that people should be aware of.

For me, I just don’t understand the need for people to publicise their personal affairs on Facebook, just because you don’t choose to post it doesn’t mean you are ashamed of being a patient of depression. It’s one of these things about the internet and social networking that still baffles me.

Check out this hashtag trend for #stopsadshaming and see what you think about these posts.

Depression is a major issue in society and there are many great things that provide support, so don’t get me wrong, I’m not questioning the cause but just the way of people expressing their support of it.
