TrIgger warning:This video mentions suicide.
Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well. May is mental health awareness month, and I wanted to do a video about mental health and mental illness and share a little of my story to help break the stigma. In sharing my story, I feel like I missed out on some details, but the most important thing I wanted to note is that mental illness and suicidal thoughts can be caused by various factors---a chemical imbalance being one of them, which I think was in my case. I know this is a lot to take in with these terms, but this is the reality of mental health and mental illness for many. Breaking the stigma means people no longer need to struggle in silence. Also, thank you for allowing me to share my story:) As promised, here are some resources for those in need. I can also do a video soon on what to look for when looking for a therapist. You are not alone.
