Why Am I So Sad - Depression

from Take What You Need...Leave The Rest Hosted by Maribel

Depression can feel like a mental prison. The world keeps moving around you while, inside your own mind, you feel trapped. In Episode 6 of Take What You Need… Leave the Rest, we're talking about recognizing when sadness is pulling us toward that abyss—and the tools we can use to fight back. Why am I feeling this way? What happened? What changed? Is there unresolved hurt? Am I taking care of my body? Am I believing thoughts that simply aren't true? I also share the story of my 73-year-old uncle, whose declining strength and mobility began taking a toll on him emotionally. But instead of focusing only on what he can no longer do, we're turning toward something he still has: his music, his stories, his voice, and the legacy he can leave behind. Life may knock you down. You may not have the strength to win the whole fight today. Just don't leave the ring. Take what you need… leave the rest. If you're experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm in the U.S., call or text 988 for immediate crisis support.
