June 2022 Events - Random Acts of Light Day
Hi Depression Support!
We’re so excited to be celebrating Random Acts of Light Day for this month from June 13th-17th.
To begin, let’s talk about what a “random act of light” may be and what it can mean to us and others.
As many of us know, when one has depression or experiences depressive thoughts, it can feel as though we're in the darkness and it's hard to escape. Many of us have those dark moments where we may feel lost and hopeless, and as if we're trapped in those dark thoughts. Feeling this way can be really scary, so having support and trying to bring some light to those darker moments can help brighten someone's day and even their perspectives on their situations. Today, on random acts of light day, let's try to be that light for ourselves and for others!
My goal for each and every one of us this week is to spread some light and help someone out of the darkness. One small act of kindness can go a much longer way than we may think :)
We have lots of different forum posts, discussions, icebreakers, and group support discussions happening in our depression support room! everything will be linked or added to this masterpost for easy access <3

- What act of light would you like to receive from someone else?
@EmmaE @WarmLightXO @HealingTalk and The entire DS team involved.
Thankyou for coming up with this fantastic idea, DS team.
Being the light for someone else whilst they are in darkness is possibly one of the most kind acts ever. ❤
- What is something you can do to spread light to someone this week?
I'm hesitant to talk about it xD but I like being a light in other's lives by being there with them, sitting with them in the darkness, assuring and making them see their own light and help them shine the brightest ever. Soooo something on similar lines hehe. ❤
- What act of light would you like to receive from someone else?
This is more difficult to answer than the previous one lol. I dunno what exactly, but I simply appreciate people who make me feel good, seen, supported, appreciated, loved and encourage me to keep working on bettering myself. ❤
