This is the best birthday ever!
Everyone's here, and Grandma Pea made us both cakes!
Yeah, it's great.
Here you go, my dears.
A cake for Sunny, and one for Stormy.
I made sure it's your favorite, Stormy.
Strawberry.
Thanks, Grandma.
Hey, Stormy!
Wanna join me for the three-legged race?
We make the best team!
I... I don't think I feel like it.
But you love racing.
What's going on, Stormy?
Sweetheart, is everything okay?
I don't know.
I just feel... sad.
I don't know why.
It's alright to feel sad sometimes, Stormy.
But I think something might be going on with you today.
It's your special day, and you usually love the games and the cake.
This doesn't seem like just being sad.
What do you mean?
Sometimes, when people feel sad for no clear reason,
it can be something more than just sadness.
It might be a feeling we call depression.
It's when you feel down for a longer time, even when things around you are good.
When you're sad, it usually goes away after a little while,
and you can still enjoy things.
But with depression, it can be hard to find the joy in the things you usually love.
You might feel like you don't have energy,
or you just don't feel like doing anything,
even if it's something you'd normally love.
So, I could be feeling... depressed?
It's possible, but here's something important.
Even when you're feeling like this,
it helps to try to do things you normally enjoy.
It might be hard at first,
but pushing through those feelings can help you feel better.
Hey, I know you love this, and it might not be much,
but maybe it'll help.
Thanks, Dakota!
I think I might feel a little better.
Stormy!
Sunny!
I got a surprise for both of you.
Happy birthday, you two.
I think these will be fun for some new adventures.
Now that is the best birthday gift ever!
What do you say, Stormy?
Ready for that three-legged race?
Yeah, let's do it!
I'm glad I pushed through today.
Thanks for helping me, Grandma.
And thanks for the cake, Dakota.
Anytime, Bestie.
Now let's win this race!
You did it!
You both did it!
Remember, my loves,
feeling sad or even a little down is okay sometimes,
but if those feelings last and start to take over,
it's important to talk about it.
Just like how we talked today.
And remember, asking for help is always a good thing.
I think I understand now.
Thanks, Grandma, for helping me figure it out.
Anytime, sweethearts.
Now let's enjoy the rest of your birthday.
Remember, it's okay to have ups and downs
and sometimes we all need a little help to feel better.
Don't be afraid to reach out when you need it.
Together, they'll learn.
Together, they'll guide.
Stormy and Sunny, side by side.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
