*Trigger Warning - this ep contains heavy mental-health themes* Hey. I was very hesitant to release an episode like this (coz I'm also paranoid about my privacy??????) but here it is anyway. Today I talk about my experiences with depression, antidepressants, isolation, psychiatry, and establishing a strong support network.
