When Rosaleen was going through one of the darkest nights of her depression, Giving Voice to Depression's host Terry offered to reach out to the Giving Voice to Depression community on her behalf.

Rosaleen wasn't sure it would help. But after Terry shared what she was going through, members of the community responded with an outpouring of compassion, understanding, hearts, and virtual hugs that touched Rosaleen and helped her through her darkest night.

In this week’s episode, Rosaleen shares how those messages from people who understood depression firsthand helped her feel less alone and began to shift the way she saw herself in that difficult moment.

Their words didn't need to be lengthy or complicated. They simply reminded Rosaleen that people understood what she was experiencing, that others had been there too, and that she mattered.

Listen to this week’s episode of Giving Voice to Depression to hear Rosaleen’s powerful story and learn how a community can make a difference when someone is struggling with depression.

What do you say when someone you care about is in a really dark place?

When a member of the Giving Voice to Depression community reached out during an especially difficult night, people who understood depression rallied around her with messages of compassion, validation, hope, and connection.

This week, Terry and Dr. Anita Sanz share those messages and talk about what made them so powerful. The takeaway is an important one: You don’t need the perfect words to support someone who is struggling. You need to let them know they are seen, heard, valued, and not alone.

Can you deeply grieve someone you love and still give yourself permission to eventually experience joy?

After losing her 24-year-old son Richard to su***de, Ann Marie Farino had to learn how to live in a world that had changed forever.

Her healing didn't mean forgetting him, leaving grief behind, or following someone else's timeline. It began with support, small steps, purpose, and finding “molecules of joy" in daily life.

This week, Ann Marie shares what helped her move from barely being able to get out of bed to understanding that laughter, connection, purpose, and joy could once again have a place in her life.

Her story is a compassionate reminder that continuing to live does not mean leaving behind the person you love.

What do you do when a friend tells you they’re thinking about su***de — and then asks you not to tell anyone?

For a teen, that can be an overwhelming secret to carry. You want to honor your friend’s trust. You don’t want to make things worse. But when someone’s life could be at risk, knowing when and how to involve an adult can be critical.

This week, we hear from Dr. Stacey Freedenthal, su***de prevention expert and author of Helping the Suicidal Person, about why teens should never be expected to carry this responsibility alone — and why sometimes being a good friend means breaking a promise of secrecy.

We also talk with Dr. Jennifer Shavina, a school psychologist and mental health coordinator for a Wisconsin school district with an innovative su***de prevention program for adolescents. She shares what can happen when students are taught how to recognize warning signs, speak up, and turn to trusted adults when they’re concerned about a peer.

It’s a conversation for teens, parents, educators — and anyone who wants to be better prepared when someone they care about may be struggling.

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.
