On the very first episode of Unspoken Reality we focus on a very common yet unspoken topic: Depression. We all go through this at sometime in our lives. We tend to keep it to ourselves away from everyone because we do not want to be judged or looked down upon. You are NOT alone. In this episode today I share a personal story on my experience with depression and the addiction it lead me to. I did not reach out for professional help but because of that I want to share my story with everyone and make sure everyone knows that they are not alone and they should reach out for help. Below I have provided you all with the Suicide hotline number and the sources used for this episode as well as my Instagram. Feel free to reach out to me if you feel the need to talk to someone. Remember I am not a licensed nor certified Psychologist or anything in the medical field. Everything provided in this episode is based off of research and personal experience. If you or anyone you know can relate to the story being shared here today DO NOT hesitate to seek help because Depression is a very serious illness and should not be taken lightly.
Suicide Hotline Number: 800-273-8255
