Convo #8: Sally and Lu on Dealing with Life Changes and Battling Depression.
Recorded live in Melbourne CBD, Australia 3000 on 13 December 2019.
Have you ever felt intrigued by a quiet friend but never had the gut to ask the person about their story? Well that is my case with Sally, my really sweet lady friend from Malaysia that I had barely got to know then. When I told her about this podcast series and asked her to be a part of this journey, she said yes right away. And I gotta be honest: I did not see that coming, because she’d always been the quiet one in our group of friends and she seemed like a really private person. The fact that she agreed to come onto this podcast series did not prove those things wrong, but it did say a lot about how passionate she was about sharing her lessons with the world. Thanks to this conversation, I got to know more about her journey so far and what led her to Australia. What’s more is that I got to understand another human’s experience and perspective on depression and anxiety while coping with changes. It’s a beautiful conversation, and we were both so so glad that we had that talk. Depression and anxiety are part of our ongoing battle with the hardships and changes in life, and they are no longer the taboo topics that they used to be. As we were open about our experiences with them, we learned more about each other and ways to deal with these mental health issues. In this conversation, we discussed the book “Who moved my cheese?” by Spencer Johnson and a bit on the book “First, We Make the Beast Beautiful: A New Story about Anxiety” by Sarah Wilson, both of which are related to these topics. This conversation was really personal, and as people who value our privacy, we only decided to share these parts of our stories because we hope they could inspire people who are struggling mentally to know that there is a way out for everyone, and everything will gradually get better. So please hold on if you are struggling. And if you are okay, please spend a bit of your time checking in on your close ones. You never truly know how much of a difference it can make to a person’s life. Thank you.
All our love,
Sally and Lu
