The road to the Mountains – Part 1
As listeners to the show may already know, Cade and I are working on several new documentary series for the show. My pet project is Mountains, a show about mental illness, mental health issues and the people who live them.
Anyway, I got talking to some of my friends about the project, and came up with the following list:
- Bipolar Disorder
- Clinical Depression
- Anxiety Disorder
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- And so on, and so on, and so on…
Turns out that out of all my friends who I chatted to about the project, only one said ‘I never got diagnosed with anything, but I feel for all of my friends who do.’
Makes me think – is there anybody out there who hasn’t been touched by mental health issues?
If you have, and would like to share your story, get in touch with me at david@anawkwardpause.org, because I’d love to hear from you. You don’t have to use your name on-air, but your story could be the thing that prompts someone else to seek help.
