  • Chronic Depression at 19
    This week on Sickboy: Jeremie, Brian and Taylor sit down with our guest Shannon to talk about the struggles of Chronic Depression. We dive into why Jr. High is SooooooooOOOooo NOT fetch! Monkeys f--king on the hood of your safari jeep, Taylor pissing his pants (pretty much every weekend) and the sobering moment of calling an ambulance for yourself in order to prevent self harm. Chronic Depression is the epitome of "invisible illness". It is wracked with stigma, and is a serious topic that needs to be talked about. Shannon was an amazing guest, and we're so grateful for her insight into what she deals with on a day to day basis.
