For me, depression is that creeping feeling that makes me want to give up all hope. It tells me that I'm terrible, that I'm bad at everything, and that nobody will ever truly love me because I am imperfect and unpleasant. It even tells me that I'd be better off dead than seeing tomorrow. Depression makes me feel unwanted, but it also feels unique - almost like I’m the only person in the world who suffers from it. I know I’m not, but the question I have is: is my depression unique to me, or is it the same depression that everyone else feels? --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice. I just do this podcast with the hopes that it can help some people. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for more content. Also, check out my book, Trying Not to Kill Myself, on Amazon!
