This is part of an interview I did with Remedy Live. The reason I wanted to post this today is because I know that so many of us are struggling with our mental health right now, and Remedy Live is a nonprofit that gives you a therapist 24/7 to chat with via their phone number and online portal. I open up about my past experiences with suicidal thoughts, depression & anxiety in this candid discussion. Text 494949 24/7 to talk with a crisis counselor.

During this crazy, hectic and scary time, I want This is Life Unfiltered to be a place you can turn to during this time to feel SAFE and HAPPY! I know it's hard right now to think about the future, but it's so important that we all bring each other up during this time. Stay positive, focus on making yourself BETTER and stronger so that when this ends, you'll come out on the bright side even happier.
