Living with Chronic Depression

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my diagnosis of Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD)—also known as chronic depression or dysthymia.It’s not just about feeling sad. It’s a quiet, enduring struggle that I carry while still functioning at a high level. I go to work. I parent. I create. I perform. But inside, I’m often barely holding it together.Mental illness doesn’t always look like what you think. You won’t always see it. But it’s there—masked behind smiles, productivity, and strength.And that’s exactly why I’m telling this story. Because so many of us are suffering in silence, dismissed because we’re “too functional” to be struggling.Let’s break the silence. Let’s change the face of mental illness.🧠 Watch. Share.
