let's talk mental health...again! :)
this time I'm giving you the inside scoop on my experience after being diagnosed with depression and subsequently being put in an ~ inpatient partial hospitalization program ~ (I say this phrase like 56 times so you'll get used to it)
oh and guess what, I had to lie my way out of there! yikes indeed
because only about 7% of those dealing with mental illnesses are placed in hospital programs, there is a lack of transparency into what they are actually like. I hope my experience helps bring some clarity to these programs but also to the fact that !! they !! need !! to !! change !! (let's make some change together)

hello there, let's talk about mental health! ðŸ§
why? well when i struggled in highschool, was diagnosed with clinical depression and ~ other events ~ followed (which I'll talk about in future videos), i felt like there weren't many people my age who had been through the ringer themselves and were talking about mental health issues, specifically depression.
and if YOU have not struggled, statistics show that a friend or loved one probably has gone through something.
tldr this is important & relevant to your life! but you probably don't know too much about it!!

thank you MUCHO everyone for listening!!
Periods, like in sentences, happen so... why not talk about it? Yes to talking about periods more & my untimely menstrual experiences.....
Sorry to the guy who could've been my first kiss. I guess I have a thing for running..... never when I needed to for gym class but of course during the wrong times.
Funny, raw & real stories from my life that I should probably only say publicly if I was the last girl on earth... so let's pretend that's sort of, kind of the case.
