With all these changes in the world, feeling like you’re struggling is totally justified. But that doesn’t make it easier.Maybe you have full-blown everyday depression, maybe just depressive episodes that hit you unexpectedly, or maybe even just like a dull cloud that follows you around.Either way, it can be hard to talk about. But there’s also some really important reasons why you should talk about it. Getting things out of your head makes them easier to process. It helps you feel connected. It’s more common than you think. There’s growth in vulnerability. It helps others feel less alone. And most importantly, it’s healing.So today, we’re talking about it.
