In part one, posted on Instagram, she said that ‘different people show their depression differently’, and that a strategy that might have worked for one person might not work for another. “What can you say to someone who’s depressed as way of advice when you don’t really know how their depression is effecting them?” she wrote in her caption. “What should you say? What should you not say?”

Ira said that she used to enjoy working out, but has now come to dread it, which is a bad situation to be in. “I used to work out a lot, but now I’m scared of working out, which is frustrating, because I loved working out a lot,” she said.

Ira in her original October post had said, “Hi, I’m depressed. I have been for more than four years now. I’ve been to a doctor and I’m clinically depressed. I’m doing much better now. For over a year now, I wanted to do something for mental health, but I wasn’t sure what to do. So, I have decided to take you on a journey, my journey, and see what happens. Hopefully, we will get to know ourselves slightly better, understand mental illness better.”
