New Episode: “My Depression and I” — She Always Finds Her Way Back

A shadowy figure stands beside a ruined house on a foggy night

What if depression wasn’t a feeling, but a person? In Episode 4 of the Poetic Bipolar Mind podcast, “My Depression and I,” Kiana Jimenez writes her depression as a possessive lover — one who has started seeing other people, who consumes everyone she touches, and who always, always finds her way back home.

It’s about three minutes long, taken from her book Poetic Bipolar Mind: Echoes of the Heart, and it ends on a note of hard-won strength you won’t expect.
