Activation warning: Courtney discusses eating disorders, addiction and suicide in this episode

In this episode, Court unveils to you her own struggles with mental health and the importance of TALKING ABOUT IT. I know, in these moments, this is the LAST thing we want to do, but I promise you, there are RESOURCES and other people out there who ARE facing or who HAVE faced the very thing we are enduring. I will always come back to this quote "love is love is love", meaning people LOVE you despite your hardship, despite your mental health struggles, despite your addiction, despite your weight gain...and the list goes on. Yes, people may have to set their own relational boundaries, given their personal physical, mental and emotional safety, but that doesn't mean they are doing so without love. PLEASE, from the bottom of my heart, talk to a loved one, and if you feel like that doesn't work, talk to a professional. The fact of the matter is, not everyone knows what to do or how to support in times of struggle, but for your own sake, keep on trying - as if you are climbing up a mountain. You WILL reach the top. You CAN reach the top. Don't give up. You are already beautiful and your voice deserves to be heard.
