I Don't Wanna Be Sad Anymore

 In honor of September's #SuicidePreventionMonth today's episode covers depression because doesn't it sometimes just feel like everyone's depressed??? Well... it's because everyone probably is. On today's episode I share one of the darkest times of my life. As I choke up and cry, I share my painful story of shame, battling with clinical depression 5 years ago and how I almost didn't think I'd survive it. I also discuss the difference between being sad, feeling depressed, and having actual clinical depression. PERSONAL MESSAGE TO MY BADDIES OUT THERE: Please know that you are not alone, you are loved, and I'm so proud of you for getting out of bed today! The pain you are feeling won't last forever... I promise. The sun will rise tomorrow and we will try again. <3 SUPPORT THE POD AND SHOP MY MERCH!!! :D Shopdaddyissues.com If you or anyone you know is battling with depression or having suicidal thoughts, please speak up.  HOTLINES: Self Harm Hotline: 1-800-366-8288 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) Helpline:1-800-662-4357 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 Trevor Project Lifeline: 1-866-488-7386 National Hopeline Network:1-800-442-4673 LGBT National Hotline: 1-888-843-4564 The Friendship Line: 1-800-971-0016 Los Angeles County Suicide Prevention Center - 1-877-727-4747 THIS WEEK'S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Pillclub: www.ThePillClub.com/VIOLET for 10$ off plus a donation to women in need Nutrafol: www.Nutrafol.com USE PROMO: TIRED for 15$ off Billie: www.Billie.com/TOOTIRED for half off Bellesa: http://www.Bplus.co/TOOTIRED to check out the Netflix of p*rn for an ad free experience & more!
