A conversation between me and my mind, and you get to come along! Welcome, my name is Gretchen (she/her), I’m a 19 year old from America, and this is my mental health focused podcast where I share my experiences, advice, and generally just whatever’s going on in my mind, in hopes of helping you feel less alone. I’ve struggled with my mental health most of my life, and I recently decided I needed a platform to share my story with others as a support that I wish I could have had for myself. Mental health struggles can be insanely difficult, trust me, I’ve collected a bunch over the years, and no one should have to feel like they’re in it alone. Whether you’re in the thick of it, or looking back, I hope you can find support and comfort here. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, let’s get through this together and fight the stigma!

What's Going On With Loneliness and Mental Illness?
Welcome to the 3rd episode of What’s Going On Up There? (a conversation between me & my mind)! In this episode I discuss a very prominent topic in my life: loneliness and mental illness.
Struggling with mental health for most of my life, I’ve experienced years and years of loneliness (and still experience it every day). Through my anxiety, bipolar 2, and eating disorder, I share my journey with loneliness, and some tips I have to manage loneliness and your mental health.
Potential triggers*
Disabilities/accessibility
Anxiety
Depression
Hypomania
Bipolar 2
Rapid Cycling
Suicidality
Eating Disorders
Mental Illness Treatment
*This list is made up of what I believe might be triggering to someone, but it may not be a complete list, feel free to check the show transcription for your personal triggers before listening :)
