In this episode of The Fitting Room, Samson Sembeba sits down with Abby, a student at TU, to discuss the often-invisible transition from middle school to high school. Abby opens up about the moment her world shifted: sitting in a psychology class and realizing the symptoms she was learning about were the ones she was living.Abby shares the raw reality of navigating depression within a family dynamic and the immense courage it took to speak her truth—first in high school, and again in college. This is a conversation about the power of reaching out, the strength found in vulnerability, and why "fitting in" matters less than being heard.If you are struggling with thoughts of taking your own life contact this number: 988 (Suicide hotline).
