What It's Like To Be You
Each episode, we will hear personal stories and experiences from someone who has been impacted by severe mental illness.
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for Listening. My name is Alicia, I am the host and creator of this podcast. I am not a therapist, psychologist, or mental health professional of any kind, and this podcast is NOT intended to provide solutions or advice pertaining to mental health. The ONLY thing that makes me qualified to host a podcast like this, is that I also suffer from mental illness, and my life has been heavily impacted by mental illness in my family and with loved ones.
My goal with this project, is to break down the stigma by showing the world that we CAN normalize these conversations if we put in the effort.
There is an unfathomable number of people in this world who have been impacted by mental illness in some way, shape or form. Every single one of these people are shaped by their incredible stories and unique perspectives. Unfortunately these people often go without a voice. I am confident that this isn't because they don't want to share, and It isn't because no one wants to listen.
It's because WE ARE ALL F****** SCARED!
We are scared of saying the wrong thing.
We are scared of being rejected.
We are scared of offending someone.
We are scared of being uncomfortable.
We are scared of the unknown.
This is understandable, we are only human, BUT this is also where stigma has its roots.
Its time to face the fear, open up, have difficult conversations, and ask difficult questions.
Lets work together to break down the stigma around mental illness that makes it so difficult for people WORLD WIDE, who are struggling to get the help they need and deserve.
