Typically, you come here to find information on speech therapy for toddlers, but today, it will get a little personal. 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.
