Bridget Phetasy and her co-host/husband Jeren Montgomery, a licensed marriage & family therapist, discuss depression this week. They talk about their own personal experiences with it, their first exposure to the concept of “depression”, how much therapeutic language has crept into everything, whether we’ve pathologized a lot of behavior that’s somewhat normal in order to be able to prescribe medication, why two drug addicts were both resistant to prescribed pharmaceuticals, and their Factory Settings around medication for depression. They also discuss what being on anti-depressants feels like, the red flags they’ve noticed when they’re slipping into a depressive state, psychiatrists vs psychologists, how depression can lie to you in your own voice, the feeling of hopelessness and inability to do the things you know you need to be doing in order to feel better, and the importance of asking for help.

My mind is a mess on many levels

Keywords: {0}

Things that should take me mere minutes, takes me over an hour. I forget important things. My mind tricks me into thinking I’ve done those important things only to remember weeks later that I never did complete something. The depression and anxiety that has come along with all of this has been insurmountable at times. I try so hard to be positive but when I’ve literally felt these awful feelings in my bones, it’s been very difficult.

I am not where I thought I would be in my life

While I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE my books, I love my child: I thought that by now that I would not be where I am but in a better space. I could be in a worse one but I do not feel like I am where I should be. I absolutely love my kid and would do anything for them( I only have one but I feel like using this identifier for the moment).

Working is easier than thinking

There were a few points in 2019 and 2020 that were so low and bleak I didn’t know if I’d make it through. I’m fine and I didn’t do anything stupid, but I thought about it almost every day. I got myself a new tattoo instead. It’s like an acceptable form of self-harm. I probably shouldn’t say that, but it totally is. Most of my tattoos came about during periods of darkness in my life.

I want to create a place that is safe and positive and where I can also share my knowledge and insight and maybe help someone else

My name is Angie and I am from a small town in Iowa. I was born and raised in the same town and have only live a little bit of my life in towns nearby. I am creating a place where I can share my journey on the road to healing and finding peace. I have lived with depression and anxiety most of my life and feel like it is time to share and help others with their journey.

I sat stone-faced as he told me I had expressed this unfelt feeling, which he assessed as being categorically inappropriate

I sat, unspeaking, as he reproached me for being emotional, though, at least in this instance, is was not true.  And it felt as if he had driven a dagger deep into my heart.
