  • EP 02: Depression Memes w/ Lexi
    TW: Suicide, Suicide Ideation, Sexual Abuse
    If you're a millennial, you've probably seen depression memes and on some level relate to it. We discuss the joys and pitfalls of identifying too much with the memes. We talk about our first mental breakdowns and the thought process of suicide ideation from the suicidal person's perspective. It's not as heavy as it sounds. Well, not to Ram or Lexi.
    On the original EP 02 being deleted: We had to delete episode 02 as per the other party anonymously mentioned on the original episode. We decided to delete it out of respects to their wishes. We don't know if we can ever fully talk about it without the other parties' blessing but we felt the need to address it. We want to be as honest and upfront with our audience and we thought this was the best way to go about it. Thank you for understanding. Hope you enjoy this new episode!

  • Depression & Art w/ Crystal
    Sometimes depression can lead to the creation of art. But will our creativity disappear if we try and treat our depression? Is our art rooted from depression? These are some of the questions we explore with artist Crystal (@GooeyStranger on Instagram) and as well as her experience/work with "Youth in Mind," a nonprofit organization in California helping youth impacted by the mental health system, a system we discuss needs rehauling.
    More talking points: therapy stories, astrology and holistic healing

About Boyz Do Cry

From the publisher's feed

Authentic and honest conversations about mental health. Hosted by two students Ram Reyes and Paulina Rodriguez-Ruiz, each week we talk about how we are feeling — how we are actually feeling — and try to make sense of the things going on in our heads. We invite guests — ranging from our personal friends or mental health professionals — to share their stories and talk about their experiences.
