Today's episode is different.  I have a conversation about what depression is like for me.  I talk about what it's like when I experience suicidal thoughts.  The checklist I go through when I finally acknowledge I'm experiencing depression.  

I also talk about the one thing I did that I believe saved/saves my life.  

If you know someone struggling with depression, please consider sharing this podcast with them.

I've really been wanting to add in a Self-Care Sunday episode.

Here are some of the ideas I list in the audio:

1) Journal and Reflect on the Week

2) Turn the notifications off on your phone until 8 or 9 a.m.

3) Drink coffee and catch up on your favorite shows.

4) Do yoga or meditate

5) Turn on an album and meal prep, take a hot bath, or work on a project.

This is a story about my tenth birthday and when my stepfather who was addicted to crack at the time showed up late and in dirty clothes to my birthday party.  

I stopped watching Netflix and Hulu on Sunday.  That's 5 Days without one TV show... I literally don't know when's the last time I did that.  It may not be a big deal for you but it has been for me.  I haven't even turned on the television for background noise while I cooked or did the laundry. 

In this episode, I share what my experience has been so far and what my brain has been telling me to try to get me to turn the TV back on.
