I just feel like if we talked about this more openly, like it just couldn't go on, like, if everybody knew that this person was struggling with this, they couldn't walk around so depressed, they couldn't like shut themselves off in their room for a week, they couldn't show up to work and like not have someone give them a hug or you know whatever it is.
