Gorgeous Renee over at Bra Queen and I have been working on a bit of a campaign to show our support for depression. Or, rather, support for people who are experiencing depression and support for services that support these people.

The campaign came about after we were sent a bazillion messages asking us to write the colour of the bra we were wearing in our Facebook Status, don’t tell the boys so we can keep them guessing, and it was all, allegedly to show support for Breast Cancer.

We kinda thought 1) Why hide it? and 2) What about all the other causes that also have a significant effect on individuals, their families and the community, and also lead to death?

We chose depression because it’s something we both passionate about changing … mostly, bringing it out into the open, letting people know it’s ok to discuss their thoughts and feelings, and provide information and support for those who are affected by being a friend, family member or parnter.

It is something I, personally, have experienced and am passionate about making a difference to.

The gist of the campaign is to show that we are not afraid to show our support … we’ve shown this over the last few weeks by sharing blog posts about or own experiences, writing a book including that includes honest accounts of depression, talking about it, and sharing resources and information for those in need, including friends, family and partners.

We’re taking it one step further and just how Not Afraid To Show Our Support and invite you to do the same. Renee has greated a group over at Facebook – Be Open To Depression and Show Your Support - where you can join and show just now not afraid you are to show your support, just as we have …

We ask that you join us in showing your support, exposing it and getting it out there – take a pic, put it on your Facebook Status, blog about it, write an article, whatever … just show your support! And you can tell the boys, too
