Like many mental illnesses, depression comes with stigmas and  misunderstanding, and whether you've experienced one large episode in  your lifetime, or it's recurring (like 5% of the American population),  or even if you've never had an experience like depression  before, this episode was created for you. In this first part of Love  and Living with Depression, we humbly invite you to listen to Shiloh's  own experiences with depression, from a young girl to her mid-20's. As  we aren't professionals concerning mental illness,  we decided to stay true to our own story and released the desire to  overwhelm with many different accounts of depression, and anyone else's  story of it. Just like in our past episodes, there may be triggers  (suicide, alcohol use, drug use, abuse, mental illnesses),  so please take care of yourself and stop listening should you feel  triggered. Next week, Part 2 of Love and Living with Depression will  conclude Shiloh's personal story, while also including tools,  strategies, and references that may be of service to you,  your partner, or a member of your life. Lean in, listen in and take  this time for yourself. Enjoy.
