I've spent years being ashamed of the version of me who was lost in depression. I saw her as weak, broken, something to be left in the past.

But I've been sitting with a heavy question lately:

What was that part of me trying to tell me?

It inspired me to document my experience on Turning my Wound into a Healthy Superpower, and I hope these insights will offer You some healing on your path:

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

How do you motivate yourself to get out of bed when you’re having an anxiety attack and just want to curl up under the covers?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I’m convinced I’ve only tricked people and sooner or later they’re gonna catch on. I have extremely bad Sunday scaries, I’m always fighting down my anxiety whenever a new ask comes through. I don’t know what to do.

I’ve been on Wellbutrin for about a year and it was working…but I feel the depression coming back. I don’t want to just keep upping the dosage (went from 150 -> 200). I’m not too sure what to do and therapy is something I can’t afford right now with my recent rent increase. Any thoughts or advice?

Do a lot of you actually have people you know and love who love you back to go to when you get depressed? Part of this for me has been feeling dead inside. I don’t feel a connection to anyone or thing

I had an interview last week and waiting is raising my anxiety. I am on anxiety medications and it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know why I am getting anxious as I already know I can not control the
