How does stigma feel?
● makes me feel small
● Isolating
● humiliated
● Feels a bit suffocating, being put into a box.
● it makes you feel unseen and undeserving of others
empathy
● it's condescending in a way
● Feels like I am the problem and there aren't solutions
● shame that I can't handle myself better
● not being able to take control of my own feelings and
healing that I'm on their time fame

● the music made it very intense
● Amazing to see gay men

● patience
● listening

What did you think?
What did you feel?
● I thought about the immense emotional pain that is experienced
● I kept thinking of all the people that may never receive services or
live with fear that others may find out and shame them
● Her breathing and the silence in the background was emotionally
powerful...made me think about the loneliness she was going
through
● I felt the real emotions from her and understood completely how she
felt
● it was a very intimate way to show that journey by seeing her
bedroom and DMs/inbox, things that most people don't share with us
● They will blame them and in video shows that she blames herself.
● I really related when she became angry towards her friends and
family, because of the emotions she was going through
33. #Movies4MentalHealth#Movies4MentalHealth
What can we do?
● Try to understand, listen to them. Take them to a mental
health clinic when they are ready
● talk to people that you absolutely trust
● Providing resources and making the calls with them to
support when ready
● Help myself and help others
● as an individual, pay attention and take the time to listen
● reach out and check up on people especially that ones u
hold close/dear in ur life
● putting yourself in their shoes so that they don't feel alone
