    55. Hallucinations & Low Moods

    Welcome back to the Exercising Depression Podcast.

    I'm not doing all that well; my meds have stopped working again, I'm hallucinating a lot and sleep is very hard.

    I'm back at the gym though, which is something.

    54. Things I Wish People Knew About Me

    CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of BPD, OCD, Medication, Self Harm, Suicidal Ideation, Body Image. Here are some things I wish people knew about me. Might come across as a bit of a pity party but, I wanted to kick start the Podcast again after a well needed break.

DrewFromAmerica ,

Thank you

I love the honesty - I feel so seen and am so happy this pod exists :)

timmaykirk91 ,

I love this

I really appreciate the goal of this podcast. It's such an important thing to talk about but so difficult to talk openly and honestly about. I have so much respect for Claire for being able to identify and conquer her own weaknesses, find what works for her, and support others by sharing it in a non-dogmatic way. I'm so glad I tuned in. I'm definitely a fan! -Ryan
