DISCLAIMER: THE CONTENT HERE IS PURELY BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND I'M NOT A TRAINED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. THE TOOLS SHARED ARE SOMETHING THAT I HAVE APPLIED IN MY LIFE AND THEY HAVE WORKED FOR ME.
You don't have to conquer the world today, just get up. "I can't get out of bed. I can't get myself moving. I just can't. "
If this is you, then I understand.
"Well, your legs are functioning. I don't see why you can't. You are just making excuses. You are running away from everything cuz you can't handle it. You are weak. "
If this is you, then you have to educate yourself first. Ignorance will hurt you if you are telling this to yourself or it will ruin the relationship you have with the person who is going through depression, if you are telling this to them and you might even end up losing them.
We are losing more people to suicide and if that's not evidence enough for you to educate yourself, then I don't know what is.
Awareness is not enough. Education is.
I have tried to cover some crucial areas along those lines in this episode. I really hope that this helps and do DM me (instagram id : anisha_s.kumar) if you want to talk and share your experience.
