"How do I keep myself out of another depressive episode?" AKA 149

[@tigermay8812]

I just started therapy after being diagnosed with depression in March 2022. I let my therapist know how I learnt about enmeshment from your videos. I even sent them the link and they seemed genuinely interested, just wanted to post this here 😊

Hi Katie thanks for the work you do I just wanted to add to your podcast on depression I knew how to cope as a child suffering from cptsd and didn't realise that I had depression untill I was a hell of a lot older and then I got into listening to music and doing exercises I use to listen to music as a kid and that's what helped me get through

Fostering kids can be a challenge. Wife and I done for years then adopted 3 kids young age. My kids with trauma at a young age is hard but can be manageable.

🌄 Good morning everyone. Kati I hope y'all are doing okay in the storm. We lost our power but working for a hotel has it's perks.

Is it possible that an ED, depression and triggers from past trauma becomes nothing more than a habit? I feel like I've worked on and processed everything I know to be wrong with me, even if some people don't agree that I have, but I still live a miserable life revolved around managing my ED, constantly trying to avoid the feelings of depression, hopelessness and memories. There is nothing wrong in my life presently that makes the issues valid. I am in control of my life more than I've ever been and have brought myself up from the trenches so there is nothing for me to be dismayed about in my life.. Yet I still cannot stop ED behaviors and intrusive feelings and thoughts. I have nothing left to try, it seems.

[@nikkimckay860]

all so interesting and good helpful questions Kati always gives so much supportive and important advice and so much details to everyone s questions 🙏🙂

[@destinyworkman5981]

I don’t know if the person who asked the first question will see this. But I would also consider looking at how long these swings are when up and down. Consider also looking at Bipolar/ Bipolar 2 disorder. The swings can be sever depression with the swing of irritability.

I am asexual! I also like men and women. My therapist of 5 years still has trouble understanding what it means, especially since I've been in a stable and happy relationship (married my first boyfriend) for 6 years now and have a healthy s3x life. There are a LOT more of us than you think! And online communities and support groups have been really helpful in accepting, understanding, and enjoying my sexual identity.

[@kreasiw]

Great podcast Kati. I have ADHD and mental health has been my latest hyperfocus, lol. It's all very fascinating.

[@paigez7680]

Can you do a video about EFT therapy and whether or not it's helpful? I keep hearing about it, but don't fully understand. Thanks! Love your channel!

[@valerieviramonte7887]

Sorry if this question has been answered-where can I send in a question? Thanks in advance.

[@snigelhund666]

For the last 8 or so months I have been feeling alot of anger after I cry, usually I feel and empty calm, but the last 6 or so months, most of the time I just feel this anger that don't seem to shake or wane off. My question is: Why? Is it connected to grief in some way, if so... will the anger subside at some point?

[@coffeeandhorses7991]

Why does a little kid need to know there parents are in therapy?.

[@progressivedragon6664]

To normalize, seeking therapy is for more than treating mental illness. You would tell them you were going to therapy the same way you would tell them you were going to the doctor… You don't have to give any details, just a matter of fact, when it's appropriate. Again, to normalize emotions and coping skills and communication skills etc. And like Katie?? said, the sooner the better for teaching emotional intelligence to our children

[@coffeeandhorses7991]

@@progressivedragon6664 parents could still teach that to their kids without mentioning they are in therapy. There is such a thing as putting too much on a kid. Adults do not need to share every detail and could be more damaging causing kids to be really worried. Just like mom doesnt need tell a little kid shes getting her yearly pap smear. Also it literally makes no sense to go to therapy if a person doesn't have a mental illness.

[@aam6545]

@@coffeeandhorses7991 Going to therapy if you don't have a mental illness makes *perfect* sense. Life is hard, and sometimes it helps to have someone to talk things through with. You don't have to have a mental illness to benefit from therapy. Mindsets like yours stigmatize seeking help. I totally agree with Progressive Dragon and wish toxic mindsets like yours would disappear.

@@progressivedragon6664 Thank you for normalizing this and fighting the toxic mantras spewed by so many ignorant people.
