The sun is setting at 5pm now and, if my calculations are correct, that means we are all beginning to feel the beginnings of seasonal depression. I know I am. After a particularly challenging depressive episode, I decided to sit down and talk about everything I did to pull myself out of it. In this episode, I talk all about how depression shows up for me and how I have been able to heal myself from it. If you or someone you know is struggling, know that you are not alone. Please do not hesitate to reach out for help. Resources are listed down below.
Trigger warning: this episode includes descriptions of depression and mental health issues, please do not watch if you are sensitive to these types of discussions and review the resources below for support.
