On the Season One Finale, I had an intimate conversation with my friend Fidelis about the different layers of mental health. We talked about the struggles that come with sustaining a friendship and other relationships when your mental state is unstable. We also discussed the stigma and negative connotations that are associated with having a mental health diagnosis. I mentioned in the episode that I don't like calling it "issues" but instead I say mental "status" or "state" because when I think of mental health, I think it’s all about where you are or the state of mind you're in each day and we all use different coping mechanisms to maintain a manageable baseline.
