This episode shows the realistic experience, thoughts, and feelings when we were both depressed at the same time. We talk about potential coping methods and understanding the different drivers that keep us going.
Highlights:
- Is it possible to have TOO many plants as a millennial plant mama?
- Changing external factors like our environment and the way we look to deal with how we feel internally is only temporary
- Kristy likes to make a man shape with her fingers
- Oxytocin, the "love hormone" and dopamine, "the achievement hormone"
- Angie swears to god she's not high
Takeaway:
- Talking to someone you trust, even for a little bit, can give you the boost you need to come out of the dark trenches
- If it's too difficult to journal, send voice notes to yourself or someone you trust if it's something you are comfortable to share
- It's not always obvious that we're depressed, and sometimes it becomes more obvious to others than yourself, but it's okay. Take the time to understand your own cycles and process
