What I don't believe in, is lumping depression in with addiction recovery which sometimes people like to do. That somehow you can alter the Twelve Steps and make "Depression Anonymous." I am not an addict, nor have I ever been, whether its drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. The Twelve Steps were originally created specifically to address alcohol addiction. Having depression doesn't mean you're addicted to a substance. If you were, it's called dual diagnosis.
I really identified with this guest. It was like listening to myself talk I have the same issue.
He makes such a good point in reminding us to be KIND to ourselves. Depression sometimes makes us say the most horrible things to ourselves. And they SEEM so real at the time. But they'rere lies. Thank you for doing this podcast.
it was wrong .we have at least almost 50 melion depressed people in my country
Can I have the link of his blog
I've experienced what you felt, but it's like you know, unstable emotions that I just couldn't control anymore. there are times when I just wanna ended up my life, but then I remembered about my family. It just that I was kind of my Family connector and I couldn't imagine how my family would be If i'm gone:(
yess
These were amazing conversation starters. I'm planning to reframe them to use them to let my loved one know I'm here as a non stressful support system when they're ready to share and plan. thank you for this great resource.
