We’ll start with my early teen years, navigating the everyday struggles of middle school—puberty, body changes, and friendship drama. But for me, these experiences caused distress far beyond what most would consider typical, leading me to unhealthy ways of coping with my budding mental illness. I’ll unpack how being the “Golden Child” and living an all-or-nothing lifestyle shaped my struggles and how losing my cousin to his battle with mental illness changed my perspective forever. Finally, I’ll speak about my time in college, where my mental illness reached heights I had never experienced before, forcing me to finally confront my anxiety and depression head-on.
If you’ve ever struggled with your mental health, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone—and that healing is never a straight line.
