WHY
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH…
We suffered from high-functioning
loneliness and depression our whole lives. .
We
lived different lives in different states, but when we met, we realized we were
struggling with common issues that reflected an important problem in our young
adult generation.
We
didn’t know who we were, what we were passionate about, what we should live
for, and what direction our lives were “supposed” to go.
We
spent a lot of time wandering in search of that magical ‘answer’ that will solve
all problems (like I’m sure most of you are doing right now), and yet the
further we searched outside, the more pronounced the emptiness inside of us
felt.
Millions
of people suffer silently from mental health related issues. Yet our society
still places taboos around openly talking about relevant mental health topics
like loneliness, depression, and anxiety.
As
a result, our young adults don’t know how to talk about it constructively,
where to turn to, or what resources they have to combat this real-life threat
to their wellbeing.
