Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY what my depression sounds like.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to interview my depression.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Forget everything you’ve heard about depression. In this OC87 Recovery Diaries video, I actually sit down to interview my depression. We don’t get into a list of depression symptoms, depression tests, or get deep into a discussion about mental illness. Instead, my depression shares its raw emotion, thoughts, and feelings.
Have you ever wondered what depression quotes you would get if you heard from your depression? I’ll give you a hint: “I just live in pain,” and “I’m here to protect you.” Have you wondered things like:
What does my depression want?
Is there a purpose to depression?
Is my depression really at war with me?
When will my depression go away?
Mental health is no laughing matter. And while this video is a creative way to bring depression into the conversation, it’s also a very real picture of what my depression is saying to me.
If you struggle with depression, my hope is that this video will make you think about it in a different way. That maybe it will get you thinking about what your depression would say if you interviewed it and how that impacts the way you handle it and think about it.
If you don’t struggle with depression, my hope is that this video will give you a real look into what it’s like living with this mental health challenge.
In short, this video will show you what a struggle with depression looks like on a daily basis.

Mental Health in the Workplace Training by Mike Veny = PROFITS
Mental health in the workplace training by Mike Veny will you improve your productivity, team performance and company profits. There are a variety of mental health in the workplace training programs, yet none compare to the results that Mike’s deliver.
Mental health in the workplace is becoming an increasingly popular topic because of employee burnout and remote working. This is an introduction to the mental health in the workplace videos that Mike Veny offers.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
When it comes to workplace mental health awareness, many employees simply don’t identify with the term “mental health”. They think of it as being something that only applies to those that have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder.
But, mental health is also about something that everyone can identify with – STRESS.
If you have stress, it can lead to mental health issues in the workplace. And, if you have already have mental health challenges, stress can make it even worse. There are employees being disciplined at work for performance issues that are actually struggling with much larger problems at the root of their behavior. That’s why we need to help improve workplace mental health. To do that, there are three workplace strategies for mental health that Mike discusses:
* Cultivate a culture of self-care.
* Learn how to have mental health conversations in the workplace.
* Put systems and resources in place to support employee wellness
This is how you can start to address workplace mental health awareness and improve mental health at work. That’s how you transform stigma in the workplace, which ultimately leads to mental health safety in the workplace.
Workplace a mental health awareness is a small investment that offers a huge return!
