Hey hey! It's good to be back!
On this episode I dive into my symptoms of depression. Since depression is new(ish) to me, I missed some warning signs. Of course, the pandemic, the political climate, etc. led me to believe that everyone was cranky, miserable, lethargic, etc. all the time.
I had good intentions to practice self care and gratitude to help improve my mood. But lets face it. If it feels like an all day chore to take a simple shower, how likely are you to do anything extra? Depression is serious and, I think, more prevalent than we realize. Here is a link to the mayo clinic to learn more about the signs and symptoms.
While we are all collectively experiencing a general sense of apathy, if you're finding normal day to day tasks to be unimaginable hurdles, you should know that life was simply not meant to be lived like this. You deserve better. I encourage you to seek help.
