S16E1: Just One of Those Days: Dealing with Depression as a Successful Woman

Hey lady, we have a question for you. What do you do when “one of those days” feels like it’s lasting longer than normal? How do you care for yourself when you barely have the energy to get up? We know days like those exist and we want you to know that not only are you not alone – they are totally normal. Dr. Dom and Terri have a tender, honest conversation about what it feels like to thrive as you experience depression. They keep it real about all of the places the mind can go when life feels unbearably heavy and share their personal toolkits of tried-and-true ways to help them become the light out of their respective darkness. As a Black woman, we hope you always know that being real about how you’re feeling is one of the greatest signs of strength. And asking for help is another. If you or a loved one are struggling with suicidal ideation, please check the links below for resources and text 988, the suicide crisis hotline for additional support. Remember, we’re glad you’re here.

Quote of the Day:
“On particularly rough days when I’m sure I can’t possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far, is 100% and that’s pretty good.” – HealthyPlace.com
