This is a Hard One: Our Mental Health Stories
A wide-reaching and very personal conversation about mental health. We touch on topics including anxiety, depression, self-harm, substance use and more, we recognize these are darker topics and can be hard at times. As you listen, honor yourself and if it feels too uncomfortable, turn it off–take care of yourself, first and always.
This is a hard one for us, not because we don’t have a desire to talk about mental health (in fact quite the opposite–this topic is a primary driving force for both of us.) And not because we hold shame or stigma around sharing our personal stories. But because it’s really scary to be vulnerable, to be honest and to put our lived experiences out there in the world. But that’s what we have committed to each other and you all–to be curious and to hold space for all aspects of wellness.
Our deepest hope is that if you, too, have struggled with mental health or are currently struggling you feel less alone in hearing our stories and that this supports you in some way.
You are not alone. We need you. We love you.
If you are in a dark, hard place, feeling like you don’t want to live and/or have thoughts about hurting yourself dial: 9-8-8 to be connected to the The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States. This prevention network of mental health professionals provides 24/7 service via a toll-free hotline. It is free and available to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. The number is 9-8-8
