After hearing incredible stories from two of my colleagues yesterday, I’ve been inspired to share some about my own struggles with my mental health. So here goes. I’ve spent the last couple of days on Struggle Street. Out of all the places I’ve ever been, Struggle Street has to be the worst. It’s filled with bad memories, shame, overthinking, horrible hangovers, constant doubt, and self-loathing. Struggle Street isn’t a place I choose to go. It’s a place that just pops up every so often and puts itself in my way, so that I have to turn down it. Sometimes I’m stuck there for days; other
