In this episode of The Third Alternative, I delve into the importance of acknowledging our mental health and how what's going on in our heads is real and valid. Inspired by a recent conversation with a friend and reflecting on the significance of Suicide Prevention Month, I share personal insights about losing a close friend, Motsamai Rorisang 'Roxstar' Mohlabai, to suicide one year ago. We explore why mental health should never be dismissed, how to process our thoughts and emotions, and the power of seeking help when needed. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that acknowledging our mental struggles is a vital step toward healing.
