In We Don’t Talk About Depression, I explore my journey through anxiety, panic, and intrusive thoughts, and how I’ve learned to acknowledge clouds without shame. This post reflects on breaking cycles, finding support, and modeling emotional awareness for my children — because it’s okay to not be okay. Resources and guidance included for those seeking support.
