In this first episode of Guess I’m Still Here, we sit down for an unfiltered conversation about the breaking point that led Miles to come home from college in the middle of a mental health crisis. We explore what was really happening behind the scenes—depression, disconnection, the shame of not being able to “push through”—and the painful gaps in understanding that can show up in even the most loving parent-child relationships.
This episode sets the stage for our series, capturing how we got here and why we’re opening up these conversations about mental health. In future episodes, we’ll explore the ongoing work of healing, the challenges of navigating support and autonomy, and speak with mental health experts to better understand what helps—and what doesn’t—when someone you love is struggling.
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health:
- Call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 (available 24/7)
- Visit nami.org for support and resources through the National Alliance on Mental Illness
- Reach out to a therapist, counselor, or trusted support person
You’re not alone. Help is available.
