In this episode, we dive straight into the coping mechanisms we use every day to function (and survive). We discuss both helpful and harmful ways to dissociate and find comfort in the chaos (video games, shopping, tv shows, sleep) especially if you're neurodivergent. We focus on taking care of our mental health, the importance of therapy and meds, and the struggles of actually obtaining the diagnosis/medication you need. We also highlight the emotional impact of the pandemic—especially when it comes to kids.
