How To Rejoin The World After Becoming Disconnected
Mental illness can make you feel like you don't belong in this world, and often lead to isolation and alienation.
Isolation can lead to a worsening of mental illness, which can in turn lead to greater isolation. And on, and on.
Society tells us disconnection from the world means we're broken. My journey through mental illness taught me disconnection is actually a natural defense mechanism.
Living with depression and anxiety drove me to create mental barriers, including constant internal music and visual filters. These coping mechanisms helped me survive but ultimately deepened my isolation.
In this video, I share three practical strategies that helped me rejoin the world without losing myself. Let me show you how to find balance between self-protection and meaningful connection.
