S2 EPISODE 1: "Depression isn't just wanting to die" WELCOME TO SEASON TWO OF SHIFTING THE LENS PODCAST! We are so glad you are here!Depression can come in many forms & the 'less' aggressive forms don't always get talked about. Jill had a realization that maybe, just maybe she has her own form of depression that may not fit the standard definition. This week, we share. We always share but this week we both share what it looks & feels like to navigate our own versions of depression. If this episode is heavy, take it in chunks or dont take it at all. Do what you need. We dont not share any of this for any reason other than to share, if you take away nothing that is okay. If you learn something about yourself, that is okay too. Sending you lots of love.
