Link – ‘Hit by freezing water’: People describe exactly what their mental illness feels like

“In attempt to melt away confusion and shame surrounding mental illness, we asked people to describe what their condition feels like in a way that someone who hasn’t experienced it might be able to relate to. While their descriptions were all unique, they all shared one thing: encouraging others to seek help and an eagerness to raise awareness that no one should be alone when struggling with their mental health. “

These are quite interesting. If someone you know is dealing with a mental health issue, and struggling to explain it to you, take a look and see if you can understand a little bit better.
