Note from Danna: Shortly after recording, I continued to read about flat earth theories and stumbled upon an explanation in a forum that conceded that while the Earth may not be flat, the emergence of flat earth theories and their growing popularity had more to do with the ability to think “outside the sphere” if you will. It’s like saying that the evidence that Earth is specifically spherical was an example of the way the public is pointed toward one specific point of view. I would still argue that usually the public is guided by general consensus, the accountability of peer review, and basic logic. However, I do respect the idea of wanting to be able to say, “Yes, okay, but what if", and what that thought exercise allows us to question in all parts of our life.

CW: Depression, suicide, anxiety triggers.
This week we talk about our experiences with depression and anxiety. We discuss the different ways it manifests in our own lives, healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms, and therapy. With therapy we try to remember our first sessions and what it’s like now, along with touching on access to mental health and what healthy coping mechanisms look like when you don’t have access to professional help.
Below are hotlines we refer in the podcast, and below those are some apps for mental health care in the digital era. Thank you for listening, and look out for us every other Wednesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher!
