Heartbreak and Depression

(How to Cope, Heal, and Transform)

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode focuses on heartbreak, depression, mental health, and ways to heal. Thank you to Psych Central for the amazing article. “There’s a reason why “heartbreak” is synonymous with “breakup.” Breakups are painful. It can feel like the pain resides in our heads, our hearts and in our bones. Sometimes it’s a faint ache, like a sore muscle. Other times, it’s a full-on throbbing, a raw wound.” - Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S. https://psychcentral.com/blog/author/margarita/
