That’s Mental dives head-first into the overlooked and offbeat issues of mental illness, it shines a harsh, fitting room light on thoughts and ideas that are often avoided, because they’re uncomfortable or just downright embarrassing.  These pages move through the everyday realities of mental illness, covering everything from, how reaching out for help is a fucking nightmare, to dealing with people who suggest “cures” for your depression, to making up excuses to miss work just so you can take a mental health day. That’s Mental is an uproarious and brutally honest collection of confessions from someone who’s been there, done that, and still has no idea what she’s doing.HERE IS THE LINK TO EPISODE THREE OF MORPHUS SO YOU CAN FINISH ENJOYING THE EPISODE: https://morphus.buzzsprout.com/1374700/5661469-episode-3-3-things-you-need-to-know-before-transitioning-to-grey-hairThank you to our sponsor for this episode Just Thrive Probiotics. you can get 15% off sitewide at justthrivehealth.com with promo code: Natsav15.
