Welcome back to The SLP Next Door Podcast! Today's episode is a bit different from our usual talk about speech therapy for toddlers. Megan dives into something personal, so if you're not up for it today, that's totally fine. You can always catch up on our past episodes, and we'll be back with the regular content next week.
We are going to be talking about dealing with grief when you have depression.
When I started the SLP Next Door, it was with the intent to share all of the things I’ve learned regarding Speech Therapy for Toddlers. I would show up unapologetically as myself. Makeup, no make-up, t-shirt, and jeans, or my favorite comfy sweatshirt and sweat pants.
I haven’t talked about this much publicly, but I’ve fought depression and anxiety for pretty much my whole life. I don’t remember life without it. It’s something that is just a part of me- as I’ve gotten older, it’s helped me relate to others that are dealing with crappy life situations or just feeling in a funk.
I remind myself daily that this is temporary. I’ve walked through grief many times in my life. The number one way to get through it?
Don’t stop. Just. Keep. Moving.
No one fights alone. If you or someone you know is battling depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, contact SAMHSA of America. You can find their website and contact information, here.
