There's a difficult struggle that we mentally ill people wrestle with. That is, how do you separate your authentic self from your mental illness?

In this episode, I'm going to walk you through the approach I took to better understand what was my authentic self, and what is mental illness.

I am not a mental health professional. I do not have any qualifications or certifications of any kind. I hope that by sharing my experiences, more mentally ill people will be empowered to step into the offices of clinicians to do the hard work that leads to mental wellness, peace, and happiness. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, as all I am is a mental patient with a microphone.
