Hush not right now (poem to long to submit) mental health awareness

---

So my Mental illness shhhh We can't talk about this right now it's depressing. People don't want to talk about that in a social setting. Really! bringing up prescription addiction, its not really a topic to bring to the table. Now you want to discuss issues with the NHS, with the system it's not exactly a subject that's integrable with the current topic it's just not narrable. Great hushed again I told you it's not appropriate, the comment leaves me nonplussed. It brings down the mood, it's a depressing topic to discuss, People feel like they must readjust what they were discussing, Please Keep these negative notions, that you are having to yourself, just deal with it like everyone else now hush, let's talk about something else. Just keep it shushed! Shushed and Hushed though! Don't talk about that! Look you're supposed to be out having some fun, You don't want to focus on all that negativity, and ruin it for everyone, Oh you mean the depression that's so tangible it feels like it ways a tonne, Yeah why would I want to talk about that at all to anyone? It's only building up so much I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown! Don't worry I'll keep my feelings under wraps, and turn my frown upside down! Good now Hush let's see that smile now! You no everyone really cares, and are supportive and of course they worry about ya, So You don't need to bring it up now, it's not often that we all get together. Don't ruin it, don't depress everyone, let's try to talk about the positives going on. Ok yeah fine you just carry on! Exchange pleasantries while I sit here screaming inside because it's festering, and I feel rotten! Shhhhhhhsssss not now! We'll talk about this later, not while guests are here. They don't want to discuss depressing things and it's not life threateningly severe. People have their own problems to deal with like work, and their families, Did you know that so and so, is struggling to, it's not all about you and your agonies. Now Hush please stop going on about these, depressing something's or nothings, but they're not just depressing things, they're terrible thoughts and feelings. Im not coping! the anxiety is building, depression it's my mental illness. And I feel like I'm going to explode keeping it all in, and not being able to talk about it, openly or freely really isn't't helping. Ahhhhhhhhhhh don't hush me I beg Im pleading, Thankfully you've Finally stopped hushing and seen reason. You're right on time Thank you for listening, because I'm really struggling and not coping, I could really do with someone to talk to, Being able to openly talk about it, helps me to Validate that my feelings are being heard. Which eventually, allows me to communicate confidentially, and no it's ok, to reach out when things get tough, Which they will as there's no quick fix or remedy. But talking helps to not feel so isolated and alone, this gives me my power back, and I can once again be enthroned, reigning over my life once more, raising it from the depths of darkness it had seemed to fall. Let's not make discussing mental health issues a Hushed topic anymore! Not listening or acting, could potentially result in the loss of a life its happened many times before, the scenario only has too be slightly different from before. Oh Finally you are here, but you're too late! I've been hushed and Shushed! Oh come on let's talk it out he replied totally nonplussed nope! Sorry no can do! You're too late, I couldn't cope, I fell into depths of darkness again and again, with the pain all bottled up inside lingering and festering in my brain. It became all consuming, too much to handle so much sadness and I was alone, but hey you'll no longer need to Hush or shush me or moan, I thought you'd be happy to hear, See I found a way to deal with it all, no longer will my depressing thoughts curse your ear, Nor will you be plagued with me discussing my depressing thoughts for that matter. As my voice has now been silenced forever, if only we'd of had that chitter chatter. Things could have been so different, silence truly is a silent killer! Don't let suicide be an option, talking is proven to be beneficial when dealing with mental illness and depression, Let's not shush mental illness anymore that chitter chatter, could save a life it's time for awareness of mental illness to be in progression! Not regression!
