EPISODE #165- Smiling Through the Storm: Finding Your Worth Beyond Performance
Description
Depression doesn't define your worth, and behind every mask of high-functioning depression lies a person deserving rest and authenticity. We explore how to break free from the performance trap of smiling through your storms while silently suffering inside.
• You are not your diagnosis – mental illness is real but doesn't determine your identity
• Healing isn't linear, and small wins like getting out of bed or taking a shower count
• High-functioning depression means doing all the right things while silently sinking inside
• Being productive doesn't mean you're peaceful, and being available to others doesn't mean you're true to yourself
• Three steps to try: tell the truth to someone you trust, rest without apology, check in with your needs daily
• Speaking positive affirmations like "I am wonderfully made" helps promote better mental health
• Sometimes we must act as if we feel better even when we don't
