In today's episode, we talk about all the ways writing helps us manage our mental health problems. We also asked the twitter #WritingCommunity to tell us how writing has healed them, and we read and expand on some of the replies we got.

As always, the conversation drifts to adjacent subjects: how do you accidentally write a novel? When do smart women finally get guys? How is it to live with borderline disorder? How do you break up with physics, and why has Nora blocked her whole family on Facebook? And what drives some writers to insert better versions of themselves in their books?
