Ever feel like you're still functioning but completely numb inside?

This week on Brain vs Me™, we dive into the quiet version of depression—the one that doesn’t look dramatic, but slowly wears you down. It's the kind where your coping skills stop working, joy feels like a distant memory, and getting through the day feels like emotional quicksand.

We talk about:

  • What “high-functioning” depression really feels like
  • The guilt of not “healing fast enough”
  • When even journaling and coffee stop helping
  • How small wins still count—even if they feel pointless

If you’ve ever felt exhausted just from existing, this one’s for you.

Let’s stop pretending we’re okay just because we’re still moving.
You’re not failing—you’re surviving. And that matters.
