This episode of the TrepTECH podcast goes deep into the darker side of entrepreneurship when Airial and Scott bring up the topic of depression. With depression running rampant among entrepreneurs and veterans alike, and with May being mental health awareness month, it’s definitely time to shed some light on it. Our hosts talk about a multitude of topics: from what depression looks like for each of them and how they start to dig out of it when they notice they’re in. Airial weighs in with various self care techniques and ideas for treating yourself right that don’t involve “going for a walk” or “being around people”. The two also talk about the importance of having a support system, and share stories of how they support one another in darker and more troubled times. We hope this helps you. We get it. We’re here for you.

 

• What does depression look like?
• What are some things you can do when you notice yourself slipping
• Examples of self care techniques
• Having a support system can be the difference between life and death
