It's episode 9 of Carrie's Always Talking! In this episode, Carrie chats with her friend and past improv teammate, Paul Fields, who graciously shares his experience with depression and his journey towards recovery. They discuss the importance of speaking up and seeking help, as well as the challenges of dealing with mental health issues. Paul emphasizes the need to find one's baseline and maintain it, while also recognizing the negative thought patterns and reframing them. He discusses what interventions worked well for him and how he's been able to support those in his life who are also being more open about their mental health challenges. There is some discussion around the topic of suicide in this episode as Paul is sharing openly and honestly about the challenges he's faced in living with depression. While there are no explicit details shared about his experience, it still may be challenging to listen to if you've been touched by any attempts in your life. The take away message is one of hope, consistency, and continued growth.
