Lesson Overview

1.04 – What Is Depression and Why It Lies to You: Depression whispers lies that sound like truth—it tells you that no one cares, that you’ll always feel this way, that you’re broken beyond repair. But those words come from exhaustion, not reality. Depression drains your energy, clouds your thinking, and steals joy from moments that used to matter. It’s not laziness or weakness; it’s your brain struggling to find balance. You can start fighting back by noticing small wins—getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, sending a text. Each tiny action is proof that the lies aren’t fully in control. Support, therapy, and time help lift the fog, even if slowly. You deserve care even when you don’t believe it. Depression wants silence; healing begins when you speak. You are not the voice that tells you to give up—you are the one still trying.
