It helps so many people that are listening.

It's like it builds this invisible community kind of.

There's always, always, always a story that needs to be heard and told and shared.

And if I can be part of someone's healing journey or if I can, you know, give someone a voice that'll help somebody else that's listening, it's like makes the biggest difference.

Because think about it.

Even if somebody, we live in such a crazy world where I feel like half the world

is accepting and open and the other half is so closed off and you know judgmental so it's like if somebody can listen to this and feel like wow like i can i can be myself like i don't have to shut down who i am because of the people that raised me or the people that are around me like yeah fuck that like everyone should just be themselves no yeah hell yeah even if it means being alone like you're not i think in my opinion you're more alone by suppressing who you are

And having people around you that don't support you than genuinely just like being by yourself and being who you are.

Yeah.

i think this is a really yeah i was gonna say this was exposure therapy this was very much so exposure therapy that's what i'm saying though it's like right i mean you would never think you're scared to like to come on and tell it all to a stranger yeah you know that's not somebody that's scared so don't you know like give yourself credit yeah it's a big thing to do i just gotta get out of my head when it's all said and done yeah get out of there

Yes.

Yeah.

And he is your full brother, right?

Yes.

Okay, got it.

Do you have any idea of what you think kind of triggered it to come on?

Or do you think it was kind of just like with age maybe and...

I was going to say, you just kind of like learn to manage it.

The older generation, I think it's harder for them to understand mental illness to a degree as well.

Right.
