9. I Can't Go Out *cough cough* I'm Sad

When “I have a headache I can’t go out” is actually code for: I’m depressed and there’s no way I’m going to try and explain this to you…In today's episode, we're talking about the taboo subject of depression, the excuses we make when we don't know how to tell people what's really wrong, and how mental health has a way of bleeding into your social & work life.I also tell the story of a stranger who noticed I wasn't okay when I was working as a server. And how her small act of kindness has stuck with me almost a decade later.Plus, we’re chatting about the things that helped me manage depression in the short term, and the one surprising change that ultimately made it disappear completely. Because as much as I thought depression was just something I had to live with, it turns out that wasn’t true.
