Tattoo with a hidden message highlights the invisible battle faced by people with depression A young woman has brought attention to the invisibility of depression - by getting a tattoo which sends out two opposing messages depending on how you look at it. The tattoo on her leg appears to say "I'm fine" when read by someone looking at her, but reveals its true secret to its wearer when she looks down at it, reading "Save me" instead. Bekah Miles, a 21-year-old US student who has struggled with depression for some years, got the inking on her leg to start a conversation about mental health and give voice to her experience. She said in a Facebook post which has been shared more than 200,000 times that the topic was very difficult to talk about. "So today, I got this tattoo. I feel that my leg was the best place for the meaning behind it. When everyone else sees it, they see 'I’m fine', but from my viewpoint, it reads 'save me’. "To me, it means that others see this person that seems okay, but, in reality, is not okay at all. It reminds me that people who may appear happy, may be at battle with themselves." Ms Miles was especially concerned that mental illness was not being taken seriously enough - in the same week as Iain Duncan Smith, UK minister for work and pensions, said depressed people should "get into work".  LOVE IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL  |

Sapnaji. very well explained. Sometimes the depression is seen and sometimes it is hidden. seen depression can be cured and hidden is more dangerous and it is not known when it will affect the person and it affects instantly and during that instant, people commit suicide sometimes. LOVE IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL

LOL the pot calling the kettle black here sunny.......depression is a sickness , MENTAL ILLNESS ,,,,,,,,,a bit of savvy is required not forgetting "females not born with compassion will not be role models for their children" just reading the jab at the chatroom is a "no no" in my eyes. I saw this pic on twitter.......you must realise tattoo's must not be taken with a pinch of salt. You never know why the person chose this particular tattoo........could be a joke or a cry for help. Depression is a sickness, not to be taken lightly.......its a cry for help.. we are the last people to judge members on this site !!! LOVE IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL
