Ahren Ciotti and I both suffer from different mental illnesses. For Ahren, the struggle has intensified recently, especially with the pandemic, but we are both "making it". In this episode we talk about our experiences with mental illness and ways that we cope. We also talk about the good sides of mental illness and the toll that our mental illness takes on those around us. It's a surprisingly light-hearted and fun episode and I hope that you're going to enjoy it!
