How Can I Stop Feeling Depressed?

If you’re feeling low, stuck, or shut down, this episode explores what depression can feel like and how to begin finding a way through it - with understanding rather than self-blame. Depression can feel overwhelming and isolating, especially when it’s been going on for a long time. In this episode, I talk about what can lead to depression, what’s happening in the nervous system and brain, and how to start approaching recovery gently and realistically. This is not about quick fixes or forcing motivation. It’s about understanding depression as a protective response, and finding small, supportive ways to move forward. This episode covers: How depression differs from sadness Common causes of depression, including stress, loss, loneliness, and trauma Depression as a nervous system shutdown Why motivation disappears Gentle, practical ways to begin shifting out of collapse If you need more support than a podcast can offer, you can find ways to work with me via the links below.
