About this episode
TRIGGER WARNING: The episode contains discussions about mental health, including chats regarding depression, anxiety, and OCD - listener discretion is advised. You can find helpful resources below.
All three of us have had difficult experiences with our mental health. We discuss how we've been affected and what did and didn't help in the hopes that it may help someone listening feel less alone. A gentle reminder that we are not mental health professionals and these experiences are strictly from our personal life experiences.
