If you could use some hope for happiness & good mental health in 2021, & a little laugh to start the New Year, this gentle episode is just for you! Come relax with me in this cozy & comforting season finale & I'll share some amusing, underrated shenanigans that make me laugh when nothing else eases the sadness, & how I inspire myself to continue living into the New Year instead of deleting my existence, including: the zesty Youtube icon Kelly Stamps, cheeky mental health memes, my secret 1 am sweet & spicy garlic cilantro fries recipe, a laundry depression tip, and more!
This episode will incorporate touches of sarcasm or humor (because that's my personality), but I do want to give a ***gentle trigger warning*** that this episode seeks to progress the dialogue about creative ways of coping with suicidal ideation for those who live with mental struggles long term but may feel more hopeless and suicidal during the holidays/New Year.
***Edit/Important note: Please use headphones (: Audio quality in this past episode was due to an old mic, but the quality is much now better with my new mic from episodes 19 and up (Thank goodness)! Thank you for your understanding & support as the podcast improves!
Inspired by: A Reddit post titled: “Formerly Suicidal Redditors: What something that kept you alive a little while longer and helped you get through dark times in your lives."
