There's still a stigma and ignorance towards it,
Hits home when it's a member of the family, shit!
Mental health matters, don't be so bloody dismissive,
Not many understand torture that negative thoughts give.
A little time, thought and compassion can go a long, long way,
Never too late for what you should have actioned and done yesterday.

It does matter .. yes. I’ve had mental health problems for a long time ..
Some people don’t understand at all
You are right, they really don't, most don't care unless it happens to them which is sad.
A most positive view of differences that people have we are all on that spectrum some closer to the edge. Well said
Indeed, thank you.
You are most welcome Shaun
I wholeheartedly agree with this poem. Nicely written.

Cheers.
From some of your previous writing I would believe that this is a matter of reflection, rather than something you are dealing with right now, Shaun. Good for you - shows that you haven't forgotten and are still able to advocate around a subject misunderstood by many.
Oh yeah I'm ok mate, it is a family member this time unfortunately. Cheers.
Yes compassion can and does make a difference
Thank you.
