Скачать или смотреть When Depression Met Determination | My PhD Story of Courage

Courage doesn’t always look glamorous — sometimes it looks like simply not giving up.

In this video, I share one of the hardest chapters of my life: during my PhD, I faced betrayal from my professor, public shaming from my family, and a battle with depression that nearly broke me.

I talk about:
Being told to leave my PhD program despite being a candidate.
Creating my own research projects and securing investors — only to have my work taken away.
Facing painful accusations at home that shattered my spirit.
Fighting depression with Prozac and counseling, and the side effects that came with it.
Why I refused to give up — and how I eventually graduated with my PhD.

If you’re in a dark season, please know: you are not broken, you are not a failure, and needing help doesn’t make you less. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is simply keep going.
