@newageceo: Checking on your strong friend is not enough. Sit with them. Stay with them. The first I am fine is never the truth. Check on a strong friend today. #runtheplay
the worst part is when you decide to talk they compare.

Shiku Muturi :
I am the strong friend, who still affords to smile when I am dying on the inside whilst still making space for others. I have become so good at pretending to be okay it scares me sometimes. Hearing this makes me feel so seen so thank you friend

Maggie Hopson :
I am the strong friend and I had sui*cidal thoughts over these past 2 weeks. Not many checked on me. Disappointing. This is so true.

Most people don’t have the range of capacity for the strong friend.

Then you start talking and they change the topic to themselves or some bs that is irrelevant. 😢

What I've found is that most people really don't know how to help people in need.

Great reminder; just because it looks easy doesn’t mean it’s not heavy

I am so blessed to have few friends who check in on me. When they know I am not ok they will come over, bring me food and one of them even cleaned my kitchen which needed it when I went for a walk. I came back and the kitchen was spotless. That friend will always remain in my heart, she is my sister.

Unless it’s my mum it ain’t happening, no one will hold you like your parent, but that’s my way, but if a person needs support I would always support them 🙌🏾

All I can say is I'm fine, I don't volunteer my pain unless I'm shown it's safe enough for it to be sat down.

Pawparent :
My friend didn’t ask how I am. She asked what can I do. It made me cry for an hour. No one asks what can I do let alone follow it up with action.

Thing is, is nobody cares enough to ask us deeply. You’ve gotta show me you actually care and wanna hear. Otherwise we think you’re just trying to make casual talk
