Guess I'm Still here

We're Still Here

Depression doesn’t work on a timeline. So, a year after our first episode, we’re back. We talk about everything that’s happened since: medication changes, TMS treatment, OCD, intrusive thought loops, and the exhausting search for certainty. Miles opens up about exposure therapy, social anxiety, obsessive thinking about the future, and the realization that some of what he thought was depression may actually be OCD-driven anxiety. Along the way, we talk candidly about fear, shame, vulnerability, and what it feels like to get stuck inside your own mind. More than anything, this episode is about continuing the conversation. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, please reach out to a mental health professional or someone you trust. You’re not alone.

I Want to Come Home

In this first episode of Guess I’m Still Here, we sit down for an unfiltered conversation about the breaking point that led Miles to come home from college in the middle of a mental health crisis. We explore what was really happening behind the scenes—depression, disconnection, the shame of not being able to “push through” and the painful gaps in understanding that can show up in even the most loving parent-child relationships. This episode sets the stage for our series, capturing how we got here and why we’re opening up these conversations about mental health. In future episodes, we’ll explore the ongoing work of healing, the challenges of navigating support and autonomy, and speak with mental health experts to better understand what helps—and what doesn’t—when someone you love is struggling.
