For years, Eva resisted the idea of medication, while simultaneously self-medicating her ever-present depression. However, when running, herbal supplements, binge drinking, and all the other tactics she’s tried still leave her unable to stop crying, she finally takes the plunge. Tune in to hear how Eva comes to accept and find the right treatment for her clinical depression, which opens up a whole new world.
After a couple of years of sobriety, I think maybe I’m not mentally ill. Maybe now that I’m not swigging back bottles of depressants every day, I can be what I always wanted to be when I grow up. Normal.
