Real Talk About Depression Angela Miller

How do the holiday's impact someone currently experiencing depression? On this podcast we discuss just that, as well as ideas on how we can not only improve our mental health during the holidays, but also during the gray and cold winter. Most importantly, this episode serves to make sure you don't forget that you are not alone and that plenty of help is available!

On  this week's episode, we continue with our final week of solutions. We end with our spirit wheel, which I think is the most important of all. When depressed, we don't feel connected. We feel alone. We hunger for connection. We are often punishing ourselves and keeping walls up to protect ourselves from getting hurt by others, or getting scorned and rejected by God. Let's take a deeper look at our spirit and just  how it can greatly affect our mental health.

On this week's episode, we continue with more solutions. We are moving from our emotions to our mind, which are obviously very closely related. Remember, it's all about balance. Depression and anxiety throws us off balance. It's our bodies' way of telling us something is wrong. A check engine light is blinking and as the holidays and winter approach, it's likely to be relentless. Let's take a deeper look at our mind and just how that affects our mental health.
