Help When Depression Overwhelms You as a Mom

a Conversational Counseling Podcast Interview
Visit Episode Webpage
Recently I had the chance to talk with Alex Kocher and Brenda Payne of Known Ministries for their podcast, Conversational Counseling. During our time together, we talk about:

• Some of my testimony and why I wanted to write Midnight Mercies. 
• What makes experiencing depression in motherhood distinctly difficult.
• The shame some mothers feel when walking through depression.
• How depression might manifest in the context of motherhood.
• How we can distinguish depression from normal discouragement.
• The realistic, biblical hope we can offer to mothers who are experiencing depression.
• What it can look like to wait on God while we watch for him to lighten our darkness.
• What would be good for husbands or family members to know when trying to help a depressed mom.
• Social media and the irreplaceable ministry of presence within the body of Christ.
• Why Jesus's story of sorrow and suffering gives hope to mothers in their sorrow and suffering.

"Sharing about depression is vulnerable, especially when it involves being put in a mental institution not once, but twice. Christine Chappell so compassionately and bravely shares her story of facing depression hoping to remove the stigma. Hoping to help us all walk with compassion with others as long as it takes for us to know that darkness doesn’t have the last say."
