Mer wants to talk about depression because she’s currently “in it” - so we explore it, and it’s flip side anxiety. We think these feelings are really relatable, and being talked about more than ever before - so we look at them through our lens to see what we see.

Episode Notes:
A new lens on mental health
The pile of rules we make up about anxiety and depression
Is darkness the color of the ground, or is it shadows passing through?
Seeing space in the ebb and flow of emotion
What about those moments we forget we’re anxious or depressed?
What if feelings aren’t personal?
The gift of being unafraid to feel
What if a dose of understanding is the best medicine?
Glimpsing we’re always okay, even in the dream of thought
