Transcript:
I realized that when I am in crisis, when I have, “fucked up”,
my response is,
“you fucking idiot, how could you?”
“Of course, what did you expect?”
If I spoke to my friends like I used to speak to myself,
I would have no friends.

Because it's one thing to be depressed or have to deal with anxiety,
it's another to also have to work to cover that constantly.
And I’ve spent a great deal of my life
pouring a lot of time and energy into covering,
into pretending that everything was fine,
and now I don't have to do that,
like that time and energy I can now put somewhere else,
and that's been huge for me personally and creatively.
Depression is not, unfortunately, one size fits all,
fortunately or unfortunately, I don't want to assign a value to it,
it looks different for everyone,
sometimes it's chemical, sometimes it's biological,
it can be environmental.
So what works for one person might not necessarily work for the next.
What I will say is that self-expression is huge.
Having a container in which to put what is boiling up inside of you,
your anger, your fear, your guilt, your shame,
finding ways to get that out,
maybe it's on paper, maybe it's on a canvas,
maybe it's a jog around the school track,
just get it out of you as soon as it bubbles up,
work to get it out.
Another thing is self care.
Just moments where I am doing what I need to do
to make sure that I vibrate at the right frequency,
that might look like burning some sage,
that might look like dinner out with a friend, might look like
a bath with Epsom salts,
just the things that I need to do for myself that are small,
doable, affordable, that nourished me.
I think often we neglect ourselves,
we focus on things in the external,
but there's a lot here that needs that needs attention.
The other thing I would do is to
make sure that you were talking to yourself
in a way that is loving and supportive.
It became clear to me at a certain point in my life,
I've had friendships, I've been I've been a good friend to people
and when a friend is in crisis, I know how to be there for them,
I know how to hold a space that looks like listening,
it looks like support, it looks like a back and forth,
maybe it just looks like a hug,
maybe it looks like being silent and just holding their hand,
I know how to do that for a friend.
I realized that when I am in crisis, when I have, “fucked up”,
my response is,
“you fucking idiot, how could you?”
“Of course, what did you expect?”
If I spoke to my friends like I used to speak to myself,
I would have no friends.
So what I started to pay attention to
was how I spoke to myself out loud and in my head.
And in your head is a much more difficult conversation,
but you can, I think, I judge,
control the words that come out of your mouth.
So if you do talk to yourself out loud, and I do,
make sure that the words are loving and supportive and nourishing,
start the work of being your own best friend.
