Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to be "fine"? This week, we peel back the layers on functional and seasonal depression, challenging the idea that mental health struggles must look a certain way. We discuss the trap of comparing pain—why it’s unproductive to measure your struggle against someone else’s—and why support, not severity, is the goal. Plus, we cover the critical moments when your coping skills unexpectedly falter and the clear, compassionate signposts for knowing when it’s time to talk to a professional about your path.Support the show
