In honor of May's #MentalHealthMonth, we open the month with a dear episode of mine where I cover all sides of depression and my own battle with it.On today's episode, I share one of the darkest times of my life. As I choke up and cry, I share my painful story of shame, battling clinical depression 6 years ago, and how I almost didn't think I'd survive. I also discuss the difference between being sad, feeling depressed, and having actual clinical depression.PERSONAL MESSAGE TO MY BESTIES OUT THERE:Please know that you are not alone, you are loved, and I'm so proud of you for getting out of bed today! The pain you are feeling won't last forever... I promise. The sun will rise tomorrow and we will try again. <3If you or anyone you know is battling with depression or having suicidal thoughts, please speak up.HOTLINES:Self Harm Hotline: 1-800-366-8288Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA)Helpline:1-800-662-4357National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255Trevor Project Lifeline: 1-866-488-7386National Hopeline Network:1-800-442-4673LGBT National Hotline: 1-888-843-4564The Friendship Line: 1-800-971-0016Los Angeles County Suicide Prevention Center - 1-877-727-4747THIS WEEK'S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Modern Fertility Go to https://modernfertility.com/adulting for $20 off your fertility test.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
