Bearing the Boulder: A Personal Narrative on Loss and Depression

Send us a text

Navigating the treacherous waters of depression can seem like an insurmountable task, especially when it's deeply rooted in childhood trauma. I bring you a heart-rending, yet powerful narrative of my own journey through depression, tracing its origins to my turbulent childhood marked by domestic violence. The discovery of an old journal entry from my stepmother led me to understand the profound impact of these traumatic events on my younger self, which possibly laid the foundation of my lifelong battle with depression.

I also confront the profound bleakness and loneliness that engulfed me following my father's death, amplifying my struggles with depression. In this candid discussion, I share how the grief and loss can feel like a boulder on your shoulder, making it arduous to break the cycle. Additionally, I shed light on my complex relationship with social media, which ironically, has sometimes deepened the sense of isolation inherent to depression. But remember, you're not alone. I invite you to join this intimate dialogue, share your perspectives, and hopefully, find solace in the shared experiences. Your thoughts matter, so let's traverse through this journey together.
