EPISODE#128-Embracing Vulnerability and Mental Health
Manage episode 423660662 series 2830585
Have you ever wondered why someone who seems so cheerful can be battling with depression behind closed doors? On this eye-opening episode of When Over Depression, I share my personal journey of revealing my depression to close friends who were shocked because I always appear upbeat. We explore the exhausting effort it takes to maintain daily routines and the unpredictability of mental illness, stressing the importance of empathy and avoiding assumptions based on outward appearances. Discover practical advice on identifying accountability partners and reflecting on your own 'mask-wearing' moments.
We also delve into the heightened sensitivity experienced during depressive episodes and the metaphorical masks worn to avoid judgment. Emphasis is placed on the importance of emotional intelligence and empathy in supporting those with mental health challenges. By sharing our personal struggles and emotions, we can foster a supportive community that openly discusses mental health issues, ultimately reducing the stigma around depression and suicide. Tune in for this heartfelt conversation and learn how to contribute to a world where we can all thrive rather than just survive.
