  • #6: What Can You do When Depression Hits (w/ Eisle)

    This is a story of someone as cheerful and vibrant as Eisle, who moved to Singapore to live life to the fullest with her husband and build her career. But what happens when depression hits? What's it like?

    *In this episode, i made it light withpout going deeply into the specifics. It is a difficult thing to talk about and I respect and admire Eisle for sharing her own experience. 

    Notes: 

    1. I failed to mention that I agree with the comment on safety in Singapore. That is something I liked about Singapore as well. :) 
    2. If you are someone who is also undergoing depression, what are you doing currently to help yourself get out of this situation? What is the hardest part of being diagnosed with Clinical Depression?
