Men upset about Yendi's take on parenthood don't realize that women are the default parent, whether in a single-parent or nuclear family. Not to mention the psychological & physiological changes women go through... Even when fully supported it's rough. And in your early 20's 👀🫠

The Ukrainian actress Tania Galakhova portrayed what it's like to live with depression 😢

[Vanassa Metzger @vancarmetz]

Don't let the waves define your whole story; you are so much more.

[Vanassa Metzger @vancarmetz]

Depression comes in waves, sometimes quiet, gentle - other times monstrous, tidal. High functioning on the surface, but crashing underneath. It's lonely. It's laughter in a room full of people. It's overwhelming. It's numb. It's wanting to be ok. It's hopelessness.

[Vanassa Metzger @vancarmetz]

You are not failing. You are SURVIVING. You are worthy. You are seen.

[Vanassa Metzger @vancarmetz]

Depression is chemical. It's real. It's serious. And there is NO SHAME in seeking help - therapy, medication, community. Seeking help is bravery, quiet strength and choosing yourself. You deserve to choose yourself.

[Vanassa Metzger @vancarmetz]

Depression isn't just a mood. You can't self-care and positive think it away. You can't always be strong enough to weather the waves. And acknowledging that fact is mental toughness. It's not a weakness. It's not a cause for ridicule.

[Vanassa Metzger @vancarmetz]

It's guilt. What do I have to be sad for? Why am I not grateful to be alive? Why can't I just try harder, do better, be better? Why am I never enough? Do I even deserve to be here?

[Vanassa Metzger @vancarmetz]

It's feeling like nothing will ever change not matter what you do, like your soul is being crushed, like the weight on your chest will never lift. You'll always feel this way.
