Popsugar Beauty Beauty News Inside Out Makeup Challenge These Makeup Looks Spotlight Stigmas Surrounding Mental Health Illnesses May 25, 2017 by Emily Orofino First Published: January 23, 2017 View On One Page Photo 2 of 10 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow This is my visual interpretation of depression: it's like a deep dark spiral in my head. The thing with depression is that people think we're lazy, that we just want to stay in bed all day and feel sorry for ourselves. They think that if we wanted to we could just get up and suddenly feel better. When you're depressed it feels like there are extremely heavy weights attached to every part of your body, so seemingly effortless everyday tasks feel incredibly strenuous. Sometimes just sitting up in bed takes so much energy and mental pep talk, and sometimes the dull ache of it blocks away any motivation to get up for school or go to work. Those of us with mental illnesses have to battle our own minds everyday! Just take a moment to realize how incredibly difficult that is to do! People think we're weak or lazy, but in reality we are moving mountains every single day!!! People don't look at people with other visible illnesses and judge that person's character based on their illness, so why is there still so much judgement and stigma around mental illness? I challenge you to take the #insideoutchallenge, to show others what your mental illness looks and feels like or support others as an ally through participating. Together we CAN chip away at this stigma, we CAN make a difference, and we CAN make the world a kinder place. _____________________________________________________ FACE: @kryolanofficial Aqua colours, @nyxcosmetics @nyxcosmetics_canada black liquid liner + "wonder pencil" in light, @katvondbeauty Shade+Light Eye, @morphebrushes 35B ______________________________________________ #mentalillnessawareness #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthawareness #selflove #change #hope #inspiration #depression #makeup #makeupbyme #makeupaddict #mua #makeupartist #motd #nyxcosmetics #katvondbeauty #kvdlook #kryolan #morphe #morphe35b #buzzfeed #instagram #vancouver #art #instaart #instamakeup #instagood A photo posted by YASAMAN GHEIDI (@lilmoonchildd) on Jan 19, 2017 at 5:27pm PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 2 Previous Next Start Slideshow Beauty NewsMakeupBeauty Influencers
