Why Depression Is Not a Disorder, But a Message – Especially for Women
Share
Depression is often described as this heavy, mysterious fog — something people fear, misunderstand, and are often told can only be managed through medication, numbing behaviors, or giving in to helplessness.
But what if I told you: depression is not your enemy?
It’s your body’s and mind’s deepest cry for rest. A built-in signal that you’ve pushed too far, for too long.
And for women — this cry is even louder.
The Truth About Pressure & “Low-pression”
In today’s world, depression could more truthfully be called low-pression — a drop in your life force, your inner fuel.
It’s not a flaw, it’s a feedback. Especially for women who live under constant pressure to be everything:
✨ The beautiful, fit woman
✨ The loving mother, the magnetic partner
✨ The intelligent achiever, the strong support
✨ The one who holds it all together
And in the process, we often silence our pain.
We push through our cycles, through exhaustion, through invisible emotional loads.
We smile when we want to cry. We perform when we want to rest.
We show up when we desperately need to slow down.
Women Were Not Designed to Function Like Men
Here’s a truth no one ever teaches us: men operate on a 24-hour hormone cycle, women on a 28-day cycle.
That means we’re not meant to be the same every day. We are cyclical beings.
Some days, we are meant to rest.
Some days, to bloom.
Some days, to feel deep.
Some days, to rise in fire.
But when we live in a world that doesn’t honor that, when we force ourselves to operate non-stop — our body shuts us down.
That shutdown is called depression.
