Tackling Depression and Anxiety: Amber and Ian's Honest Take

Depression, on the other hand, is a constant feeling of sadness and loss of interest and has to do a lot with inaction and isolating and basically just being a bump on a log, laying in bed in the dark, watching.
Ever wondered how depression and anxiety can affect your sobriety journey? Amber and Ian Nelson open up about their personal battles with these mental health challenges in this heartfelt episode of the 'Southern Cheese' podcast. Broadcasting from their cozy hideaway, away from the bustling life with their three kids, they dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies sobriety.
Amber and Ian don't shy away from discussing the heavy stuff, but they do it with a sprinkle of humor and a lot of empathy. They explore the differences between depression and anxiety, how ADHD can complicate things, and why seeking professional help is crucial. You'll hear about their own experiences—those moments of inaction and isolation that depression brings, and the constant worry that anxiety feeds on. But it's not all doom and gloom.
They share practical coping mechanisms like self-reflection, tackling cognitive distortions, and even the role of medications. Parenting tips come into play too, as they discuss managing anxiety while raising kids and striving for personal growth. This episode is like sitting down with friends who get it, offering you both comfort and actionable advice to manage your mental health better.
