#IfOnlyYouKnew – Parts 3 & 4: I am not OK, I am unlovable
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Why is it so hard to reach out to others for help when we most need it?
In this instalment of the 6-part #IfOnlyYouKnew interviews, we will hear from another pair of youth and adult, Diana and Reynard about their mental health journey.
Perhaps listening in on Diana and Reynard’s short sharing could give us valuable insights into how what is happening in our minds can sabotage us from taking action to overcome the mental health challenges we all face. Thoughts (as Diana and Reynard puts it) that go…
“There’s no hope in life anymore.”
“I hate myself.”
“I feel lonely. I feel frustrated. I feel like crying. I am confused.”
“What if I wasn’t around?”
Part 3 – Diana Roslee: I am not okay
Part 4 – Reynard Lye: I am unlovable
