Deepika is #NotAshamed

Deepika is #NotAshamed to share her story.

She has overcome the shame felt by those who are affected by mental illness, which can often dissuade them from speaking about their struggles and seeking professional help.

We urge you to share the story of your mental health journey like Deepika has. We believe this act can empower others who are suffering in silence.

Severe depression can lead to suicidal thoughts. Be kind with everyone because you never know what the next person is going through.

The worst thing in depression is
“you cannot cry“ at most of the times.. You would be finding hard to breathe and would be experiencing a heavy chest pain which I'm experiencing now!

😭😣😣 Please cry

[arpitagoswami]

I can feel you. I'm in depression and the worst part is I couldn't cry. It breaks my heart. EVERTYDAY.

[devayanihegde]

people who are saying it is a publicity stunt, can't you hear the crack in her voice?Dont you have any humanity left within you?you guys have no idea how empty one feels when you suffer from depression and social anxiety, so keep your negativity to yourself

[dishaulhe]

this woman inspires me every second and i’m not even kidding. she literally has been this guide throughout her journey and i can’t thank her enough for that. i love her so much, stop hating on her, she would’ve done something of her self and y’all wouldn’t come to her at that time because it’d be too late. mental health is no joke :)

[bhavikasicka]

Some people are empaths. They feel too much, too deeply. Anxiety, social anxiety, depression, these are very real and so much more common than we think they are. We need to start normalizing these conversations and not driving them underground. We need to start creating support structures for mental and emotional health. I really respect her bravery for coming out with her story. Depression is a socially taboo subject, and we need to remove the stigmas surrounding mental health. And celebrities are not immune to depression, because depression can affect anyone. Sridevi, Marilyn Monroe, Avicii, Chester Bennington, Robin Williams, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Kushaal Punjabi... the list is endless... RIP. 🙏

I suffered from depression and anxiety and I’m here today to say “stay strong and you’ll come out stronger!” 🙌🏻❤️🌷

[arya_inmydefense]

Remember All those hating on her wouldn't have said anything about her if she did something to herself.

It's truly brave of hers to come back strong!

[shireenbegum]

I'm so happy for her that she met the love of her love who makes her happy and smile every moment he gets 💓 love them both

[SERVANIVLOGSYT]

She could have just got out of Depression and live but the fact that she choose to educate people about it, is commendable . Love you DP😍💗

[zainabmohammad]

Sad...

Big thanks to Ranveer for restoring her life and her smile back!

[sankits]

Thank you so much Deepika! Your words really helped me during my depression days and still helps me. Whenever I feel depressed I watch your interview with Barkha or I read your interviews. I can relate alot, I helps me to understand that I'm not alone, I'm not only one who's suffering from depression, It helps me to feel better. Depression can happen to any one...It's not rich or poor thing.
Thanks for inspiring me, motivating me everyday. Thanks to TLLL foundation for you work.
It will be nice if I will get a chance to be part of you. I understand those emotions and I will like to help people who are going through depression. 🙏

*The most brave thing I did was to live when I wanted so much to die..*

I even began to self harm...
I didn't tell anyone..
And now I'm proud of my scars..
