This one was tough to record. It may be tough to listen to and that's definitely ok. 

Depression, amongst many other mental health issues affect A LOT of people, Dad's and men quite often suffer in silence. I have been doing the same thing, but I want to be a part of the change.

This one was hard to record but this week I dive into my own battles with depression. Try to shine some light on what it can look like (tiredness, emotional withdrawal, intrusive thoughts etc), what people don't talk about enough (the guilt, not knowing how to respond to someone reaching out), and some things that I find help get me through and give me some momentum when times are hard.

I hope this view into what depression can look and sound like while it's happening can help you or someone you know manage through your own battle, or help you as a support for someone.

If you are struggling please reach out and seek help.
