“The first time that I talked to a therapist, I was vulnerable about what I was struggling with and when I got off the phone, my mind and soul felt so different. I left the call with renewed hope and Post-its full of tips on how to comfort and heal myself during the lows. I was really proud of myself for reaching out, especially considering the mental health stigma in the Asian community, where a lot of pressure is put on an individual to just “don’t be sad.” It was an experience that helped me improve my mental health and it also allowed me to serve as an example to others that you don’t have to pick yourself up alone.”
