just a fair warning to share with you all just in case. today, we will be covering a topic that is a little bit sensitive for most people who deal with depressive episodes or just any other mental health issues in general. but, if you find this episode to be very personal or very sensitive to you, please feel free to not watch this episode. so today, i wanted to talk about managing a depressive episode. two months ago, i had a VERY intense mental breakdown that i couldn't really describe in words. its like i was grasping for air, and i couldn't really understand why i was having this breakdown. but, more or less, i got through it with the best support from my mom who was there for me and i couldn't thank her enough. but, i know for some its difficult to recieve support when you are going through something so cryptic and so emotionally depressing, so i wanted to share some things on how to manage a depressive episode. these are some of the things that worked for me, hopefully they can work for you.
