So, I have depression right now. I’m not sure what exactly brought it on or why—I mean, I’ve got some solid theories—but for all the progress we’ve made in talking about our mental health and trying to build a working culture that’s accepting and human and nonjudgmental… you still can’t call in sick for depression. I can’t tell my clients they won’t get their deliverables because I’ve sunk into my couch and can’t get up. At the same time, dragging myself OUT of the couch cushions and forcing my sluggish brain to write some marketing emails *does* help lift me out of a depression cycle.
I think solo entrepreneurship is hard for me this way. When I was a personal trainer and I had depression (WAY worse back then b/c it was undiagnosed and I didn’t have my Lexapro), showing up to the gym and spending hour after hour 1-1 with clients was a powerful mood lifter. It forced me to focus on other people for extended periods of time, and depression is nothing if not a myopic cloud of “alone.”
I’m fine, by the way. This is not my first rodeo, or even my hundred-and-first.
Walking around and taking photos helps.
