talking about mental health is hard and will always be hard. no matter how "awkward" or taboo the topic of mental health is, if you are going through something that you can't control, it is okay to ask for help. talking to my parents about mental health is still hard even to this day, but it is something that i was able to build up the courage for when i was in high school and was able to get help for. if i never had the courage to talk about it to them, i honestly don't know what my life would be like now. opening up this very personal experience and discussion to everyone listening, is very difficult for me but i do think that mental health is something that you should not be ashamed of and be able to talk about it freely. listen to today's episode on how i overcame my fear and embarrassment in talking to my parents about mental health and ways that can one day help you build the courage to do<3
