Depression Has Many Faces
Hey there, I'm Regina Swearing. I'll be doing a series on depression. Uh, maybe a part one and a part two. And I'm gonna probably have guests on as well. Um, what does depression look like? Is the question that I'm asked most. Well, guess what? Depression don't have a certain look. You can be the prettiest, you can be the most handsome, you can be the most successful, um you can be all these things and still be uh depressed. If people would look at me um back in 2020, before my sister died, and then after she died, but before she died, after she died, go if I was to go out, people couldn't tell that anything was wrong. You had to really know the Lord to know that something was going on with me. And her death was so profound, it was so it had the greatest impact on my life negatively, you know, and people always say, I hate when people say this when people die, they say, Oh, she's in a better place, um, she's she wouldn't want to be here. People say all the wrong things when people die. All the wrong things. When somebody dies, you need to be led how to speak, even how to speak when you're doing a funeral, because you got people in that audience that are hurting. And yeah, depression, back to depression, it doesn't have a certain look. You can have the prettiest face, but have the ugliest thing going on inside of you. And you can be, you don't like I did when I had the nervous breakdown, I didn't want to be around people. I didn't want to be in crowds, I didn't want to, I mean, I just shut the world off. And then in 2022, of I think it was March or something, February, I start to open up a little more, and I start to say, okay, I need to get back out, but that was because of much, much prayer, and somebody must have been praying for me. I don't know who it was at that time. But somebody was praying for me. They were really praying for me because God lifted me out of that deep abyss that I was in. It was a dark, dark place. So I'm going to do a series on depression. It's gonna probably be part one, part two. I'm sure I'll have guests on to talk to about it. But since Laura's death in 2020 with July, it's taken me a long time to want to even be in crowds of people because you're gonna understand we were very close to each other. So having heart with me and being together with heart all the time, we went places together, we did everything together, we recorded our music together. I thought we would grow old together and it and be together forever, but that didn't happen. So I got so much to talk about. I'm gonna go deep into the nervous breakdown that I had. I'm gonna talk about that, not today, but I'm gonna talk about it so people can know that because a lot of people say, well, what does per depression look like? That's the name of this topic. What does depression look like? What does depression look like? And like I say, you could look like you got it all together. It would take a real mother A.B. Jackson or a woman or a man I got to really say, okay, something's not right. You know, and that's what I had going on after my sister's dad's. It was just I loved my sister, I missed her. And all I could hear was everybody acted like they were so close to her, they loved her. No one was closer to her than I was. No one. And at the end of her life we would talk, and although it was my phone, she shared so, so many things with me. So many. And one thing she said, she said, China, I made the biggest mistake of my life when I left you and mom. I'll never forget those words. So depression, it got a lot of looks, you know. You can look like you got it all together. That doesn't mean that you got it all together, and this is the perfect time to speak about it because it's just the holiday season that's coming up. So that's why I want to talk about depression and focus as one of my topics on depression. So I will be getting back with you. Thank you so much for listening to my podcast right here at iHeartRadio. I have some great guests coming up on my show. I'm just so thankful the way things are going in my life right now. It wasn't always that way, but now it seems I see I can see the light finally at the end of the tunnel. But for a while it was just a dark, dark place. And I thank God for all the prayer and the people who prayed for me. I thank God for that. So coming up, you will be hearing that very soon. That's all I can tell you. Um this month. This month. And probably next month as well, because it's Christmas month. So thanks again for checking out my podcast, and you take care of yourself.
