In this week’s episode we dive headfirst into why we let our depression start defining who we are. It really isn’t who we are on the outside but because we start to feel so crummy on the inside, we start to let it run our lives and control our moods. This episode is all about helping you get out that funk you might be in or just simply realize that you are so much more then your depression, and you shouldn’t let yourself get stuck in this circle of lies that we continuously tell ourselves. Also stuck in all the lies we tell our friends and family to get ourselves out of the plans we’ve already made, to only stay home and sit in our own grief. I know that dealing with depression can be hard but I’m hoping that one of these four topic’s I’ve gone through can help you realize that you have a bright and beautiful future ahead of you. You just must find the strength and braver that I’ve always had inside of you and let that guild you’re through this rough time.

In this weeks episode I dive head first into depression itself. I decided not to just read you the definition but to give you insight of what depression is really like, and how it affects people's life's. From how it makes us feel to all the thoughts around it. Depression isn't easy to talk about but I feel like the more we can learn about it, the more we can start to understand what it really is, and how people are feeling.

I wanted to do the first episode as a little bit of a get to know me and why I am so passionate about this subject. I want us to learn together, grow together, and build up a community where we support each other through the good or bad times.

Also I added in the beginning of the episode that I am not a therapist, doctor, psychologist, or counselor. I am simply just someone who struggles with mental health and knows that it can be 100 times harder to struggle alone. So I'm passionate about creating a safe place to learn more about mental health and a place where you never have to feel alone again.
