Hustle culture motivation doesn't make my depression go away.

I don't know if you've experienced the type of depression that leaves you in a space of not wanting to wake up, that makes you feel like you've got 2 anchors tied to your feet just trying to get the bare minimum done while you have a voice in your head telling you every minute of the day how worthless, hopeless and unlovable you are. But that's where I'm at. Even with the best of intentions, telling someone who is depressed that "no one is coming to save you" is harmful. God is coming to save me. My family is coming to save me. My fiancé is coming to save me. My friends are coming to save me. My psychiatrist and my psychologist are coming to save me. God blessed me with an amazing support system to make sure that I could get through this chapter. I'm not alone. And there is nothing wrong with leaning on others for support in chapters like this. #depression #grief #ptsd #christianwoman #MentalHealthAwareness

About This Video

In this video I’m talking about a kind of depression that hustle-culture motivation simply cannot touch—the kind where waking up feels pointless, where even “bare minimum” tasks feel like you’ve got two anchors tied to your feet, and where a cruel voice in your head is constantly calling you worthless, hopeless, and unlovable. I share where I’m at right now, because I don’t want anyone thinking that a tougher mindset, a better morning routine, or another “no one is coming to save you” quote is the answer when you’re drowning. I’m also really clear about something: telling a depressed person that “no one is coming to save you” is harmful. Because in my life, God is coming to save me—and He’s doing it through the people He’s blessed me with. My family, my fiancé, my friends, my psychiatrist, and my psychologist are part of the support system that’s helping carry me through this chapter. The takeaway is simple but powerful: you’re not weak for needing help, and you’re not alone for leaning on others. In hard seasons, support is not optional—it’s a gift.
