My Illness Doesn’t Define Me: Angela on Telling Her Story & Helping Others Heal
In this week’s episode of I Need a Friend, I sit down with Angela—a stranger I met on Threads—who shares her powerful story of resilience. From being diagnosed with a mental health illness at a young age to the emotional relief of finally receiving the right diagnosis, Angela’s journey is one of strength, self-advocacy, and hope.
She opens up about the battles she’s faced, the healing she’s found, and how she’s now using her story to help others feel less alone. Our conversation was so impactful, it even inspired me to take a step forward in my own mental health journey and sign up for therapy.
Enjoy listening to my now friend, Angela.
