01 This is me

Would you like to be linked to a blog that talks about mental health and illnesses?
I sure didn't. I was terrified of what people might think of me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still pretty scared but nothing will ever change if we don't change.

In this episode, I'll talk about why I was so scared to link my name and my face to a blog that talks about mental health and mental illnesses.

The virtual world and especially social media let us believe that the stigma around mental health is decreasing, but is that actually true?
Is the real world a safe place to open up about one's mental health and mental illnesses?


In this episode I mentioned some blogposts and  numbers:
