When Terry asked her colleague Nick how he was doing, Nick first gave the answer so many of us do: “Fine.” Then he paused and told the truth: he’d actually been struggling.

That moment of honesty led to this week’s deeply personal conversation about depression, coming out, and the emotional toll of hiding an important part of yourself.

Nick shares how suppressing his sexuality affected his mental health, why coming out felt like a weight being lifted, and how he’s learned to recognize and respond to his depressive episodes. He also opens up about one of his darkest moments—and the friend whose compassion and presence helped him through it.

It’s a conversation about vulnerability, authenticity, connection, and the importance of having someone who knows the real answer when “fine” isn’t true.

When depression makes it difficult to focus, start a task, or find motivation, “just push through” isn’t always helpful advice.

This week, we continue our conversation with Sarah Fielding, a New York City-based journalist with a decade of experience covering mental health, social issues, tech, and business for publications including Fast Company, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Engadget, and Insider.

Sarah is also the author of “Nine Ways to Motivate Yourself to Work When You’re Struggling Mentally.” In Part 2 of our conversation, we pick up where we left off last week with more practical, realistic strategies for getting started and getting things done when depression or anxiety makes motivation hard to find.

From recognizing what you’ve already accomplished to taking guilt-free breaks and letting go of the expectation that you should be productive every minute, Sarah offers reminders that working with your mental health can be more effective than continually pushing against it.

If you missed Part 1 last week, you can start there—or jump into Part 2 today.

How do you stay motivated when depression, anxiety, or burnout make it difficult to work?

This week, we're joined by Sarah Fielding, author of the Healthline article, "Nine Ways to Motivate Yourself to Work When You're Struggling Mentally."

Together, we explore practical strategies that can help when your motivation is low—from breaking overwhelming projects into manageable steps and planning around your natural energy levels to replacing self-criticism with self-compassion.

This isn't a conversation about "pushing through." It's about learning to work with your mental health instead of constantly fighting against it.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed or stuck lately, we hope you'll find a few ideas that make the next step feel a little more manageable.

Instagram comedian and podcaster Shannon (https://www.instagram.com/therealshannypants) has built a community of hundreds of thousands of followers by making people laugh. But behind the humor, she was quietly struggling with depression.

In Part 2 of our conversation, Shannon shares how learning to ask for help changed everything—from finding friends who truly showed up for her, to opening up to her husband, to discovering a therapy that helped loosen the grip of painful memories.

We talk about why depression convinces us we're a burden, why asking for help can feel so difficult, and why it's often the first step toward healing.

If you've ever felt alone in your depression—or if you've been afraid to reach out—this conversation is for you.

You don't have to carry it by yourself.

Have you ever wondered why someone who seems so happy could be secretly struggling? Maybe you're that someone.

One of the things I've learned from nearly 500 conversations about depression is this: You can't tell who has depression by looking.

This week's guest, Shannon, is known for making hundreds of thousands of people laugh online. Behind the scenes, though, she was fighting depression every single day. She talks honestly about the years she spent thinking she just needed to "try harder," what finally led her to seek help, and how life began to change when she accepted that depression wasn't a personal failure—it was something she could treat.

She also shares something I think we all need to hear: progress isn't about never having another hard day. Sometimes it's simply making your bed, taking your medication, or choosing to leave the house because you know it will help. Those small acts count. They get the ball rolling.

If you're living with depression, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone. And if you're supporting someone who is, I hope it offers a window into what they may be experiencing.

What if depression isn't who you are—but a response to what you've lived through?

Davey returns nearly 10 years after his first interview to share how understanding Complex PTSD transformed his life, his self-worth, and his hope. If you need a reminder that healing is possible, this episode is for you.

When someone we care about is struggling with their mental health, our natural instinct is to try and fix it. We offer advice like "you just need" to take a walk or try yoga.

But when you are in the thick of a depressive episode, even excellent advice can feel like forcing a heavy meal on someone with a severe stomach bug. You literally cannot stomach it yet.

There is a massive difference between can't and won't.
A car without gas isn't choosing to stay parked; it simply cannot start.

If you want to truly show up for someone you love, drop the quick fixes. Instead, try asking: What can I do right now that feels digestible for you? Or what do you need right now? How can I support you?

Sometimes, simply listening an open mind/heart and no judgment is the best medicine we can offer.

Everyone knew Ted Perry as the television news anchor who was always cracking jokes. That's exactly why people were so surprised when he shared that he'd been quietly living with depression for years.

In this powerful conversation, Ted opens up about why he hid his struggles, what finally led him to therapy, how medication became one part of his recovery, and why hope is something worth protecting—even when it feels like only a tiny ember remains.

If you've ever assumed someone who seems happy couldn't possibly be struggling, or if you've felt like you had to hide your own pain behind a smile, this episode is for you.

What if there was a simple technique you could use anywhere—at home, at work, or even from bed—that might help reduce stress and create a little emotional relief?

In this episode, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) expert Brad Yates explains the practice known as "tapping," which involves gently tapping on specific points on the body while acknowledging difficult emotions and thoughts. Millions of people have used EFT as a tool to help calm stress, reduce anxiety, and feel more grounded.

Brad not only explains how tapping works, but also leads a guided tapping session created specifically for Giving Voice to Depression listeners. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or simply looking for another tool to add to your mental health toolkit, this episode offers a practical technique you can try right along with the conversation.

Sometimes the first step toward feeling better is simply being open to trying something new. If a technique helps lighten the load, even slightly, that can be enough reason to give it a try.
