Having a support network around us that ends up being the most helpful thing for us to figure out what's what, in that we don't have to do that hard work of kind of nailing it all down and figuring it all out ourselves, even though we often think we do.
Imagine living in a world where the sun never seems to rise. That's what depression can feel like, and it's a reality for many. In this episode of 'To Write Love on Her Arms', host Lindsay Kolsch brings together Morgan Harper Nichols, Whitney Wilson, and Stephan Monteserin to share their raw and personal experiences with depression.
They talk about those early, confusing days when they didn't even recognize their own symptoms, and how they eventually found the courage to seek help. Morgan Harper Nichols opens up about how her preconceived notions of depression made it difficult for her to realize she was suffering. Whitney Wilson recounts her journey growing up in an environment devoid of mental health resources, leaving her feeling isolated and unsupported.
Stephan Monteserin discusses the all-encompassing nature of depression and the critical role a support network played in his life. Adding another layer to the conversation, licensed mental health counselor Aaron Moore joins in to address the pervasive stigma surrounding depression. He emphasizes the importance of ignoring societal lies and seeking the help you deserve. The guests collectively explore different avenues for assistance, including therapy, medication, and community support, stressing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
This episode doesn't shy away from discussing the shame and isolation that often accompany depression. Instead, it tackles these issues head-on, offering listeners a sense of connection and hope. Whether you're personally affected by depression or know someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a heartfelt reminder that you are not alone.
