Oof. This one's a toughy. I've lived with mental illness since early childhood, but wasn't diagnosed with my causing illness until just a few years ago. If you struggled with your mental health growing up, I hope you find solace in this episode. If you're a parent, I hope this encourages you to take your child's mental health seriously, on par with their physical health. As always, I'm so honored that you take the time to listen to this podcast that means SO FREAKING much to me. You're the best <3

CW: mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD), mention of self harm thoughts and ideation.
