Cammy

[Rob]

Cammy has been suffering from depression for a few years now. She kinda had a breakdown around the time she ran the first Amiga game making competition on her own while trying to support too many others at the same time. The problem is she's too nice and sensitive for her own good, and takes any critique or criticism to heart. She can't ask anyone for help and insists on doing everything herself even when she's barely capable. She used to have so much enthusiasm and life in her, but she's become a shadow of her former self.

I hope she manages to recover.

Is it ?  Would you have the same issues with people talking about someone having a cold ?

This us the problem with mental illness, people still talk about it in hushed tones like it is a taboo subject.

Because of people's reluctance to talk about  mental illness it keeps the stigma alive.

Mental illness is no different to any other illness.  Everyone has or will suffer with some form of mental illness from time to time, even if they are willing to admit it or not.

it needs to be discussed more and talked about openly.  it is one of the biggest health issues of the western world but there  is no shame in it  or asking for help

Fully agree with you there.

Although I was very young I do still remember when people referred to cancer as the big C.
