Jacob Barrera

As longtime, childhood friends, Jacob Barrera (@arreraja) and Taylore reminisce on the friendship ebb and flows throughout the years that come with growing up. Jacob sheds light into what it is like to struggle with mental health, and what it is like to check in to a mental hospital,  at length with Taylore with a common ground of their chronic, day-to-day battles. They discuss what coping mechanisms work best, and what they think should change in the world of mental health. In a very intimate and courageous way, Jacob walks through his recent suicide attempt and the aftermath of what that was like for him and the people around him, as well as all he would have missed out on had his life ended that day. What a light we would miss in this world if he wasn't here, and the same goes to all of you.
