NEW_ Ep. 362 When Depression Erases Good Memories

Did you know depression doesn’t just bring sadness—it can steal your memories of joy?

In this 30-minute episode, we explore the deeply disorienting and isolating experience of how depression alters memory. Not through scientific jargon, but through lived experience. Writer and mental health advocate Natasha Tracy joins us to discuss how depression can convince you that you’ve never been happy—robbing you of the very memories that might offer hope.

You’ll hear:

• How depression manipulates memory to maintain its grip
• What “state-dependent memory” means and how it plays out emotionally
• How Natasha separates herself from her depression to survive it
• The ingenious ways people are preserving happy memories for future dark days—like writing letters to themselves or recording heartfelt videos during periods of stability

This episode is full of truth, tools, and the kind of wisdom you won’t find in textbooks. It’s honest. It’s raw. And it just might help you—or someone you love—find a foothold when hope feels out of reach.
