0013: Regrets by thementalgirls | April 30, 2019 | Podcast | 0 Comments Social Media is a fact of modern life. Social Media has more of an impact into shaping the way you feel about yourself then you realize. The Mental Girls talk about things they see on social media and offer their take on a few memes floating around. Join... -
When depression wins I don’t want to mislead anyone to think that every day is going to be bright and that you will always win as long as you’re trying. Some days, we just don’t win, and you know what? That’s okay. Some days, we are tired. Some days, we have had enough. Some days, we decided not to... -
What do you need Sometimes, what we need is not what we want and vice versa. Doesn’t that suck? I understand. We all want things, and honestly, we want them now. We don’t want to wait and most of us don’t want to put in the work. So, our wants become this fantasy, and we forget what we need right now. Right... -
Never enough No, not you. Of course, you are ALWAYS enough! But all of your stuff is going to weigh you down. Why do we even need all of this crap that we have? I mean, inside, outside, all around us, we just have this stuff. I attend church regularly, and it’s cool if you don’t, but stick with me here. We had this... -
A friendly reminder No matter our personal beliefs, Kim and I both feel that a person is a person and their body and choices are their own. There is so much controversy out there right now with new laws being made, and we aren’t here to tell you if you should be glad or mad about what has and hasn’t been done. All... -
Ask for help It can be terrifying to ask someone for help because it means admitting that we aren’t enough or we’re weak or whatever the reason may be. But it’s worth it. Sure there may be some people in this world that will think less of you, but I can assure you that the majority will be more than willing to lend a hand. We,... -
Keep a kind heart Mother always told me I had a big heart. And it was true, I was always happy and loved everyone. But then Life took its toll, and I started to harden my heart. This didn’t last long, but for that short time, while I may have felt safer, I wasn’t happy. Being kind to others was a natural part of me. To deny it... -
Face your fears to meet your dreams. So I recently got a tattoo on my left thigh, which is riddled with scars from self-harm. I was terrified about getting this tattoo because it meant revealing my scars to a stranger. But it went okay. Of course, the artist noticed and we had a short conversation about it but he didn’t press,... -
I have a secret for you, and hopefully, you might get something out of it! I *always* prepare for the very worst. I don’t really think that is because of anxiety, but more of this…if I think of the worst thing and mentally prepare myself for that, then I can handle literally anything that will come next. I am... -
Right now, I am staring at my calendar. Since it is now May, I flipped the page, and it is a beautiful photograph of an Elephant. I like Elephants a lot; They are big, strong, gorgeous and tough, which are all things I strive to be.I wonder what would happen though if somewhere along the way, somebody snapped their fingers and... -
You Create You I had this on my wall before I went through my struggles, but it meant more to me afterward. To me. It means that you create your own destiny and purpose. To show what I mean I figure it’s best to tell you my story directly. I was sexually assaulted at 14, and it started to derail my life. I became...
There’s only us. There’s only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way, no day but today.
More About Our Company
The Mental Girls podcast was born from the struggle of Alysha and Kim.
As young women from different backgrounds they found common ground in their struggles with mental health. Your upbringing, social status, or financial situation doesn’t matter, we understand that depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts can impact anyone. After hearing the many stories of people who have struggled with depression and those who succumbed to those suicidal thoughts, from those who thought they had nothing to those with “everything.” We wanted to lend our voice to those of you who are searching for support, for someone who understands. We help each other, we want to help you.
Join us.
Alysha – A 27 year old single mom to three beautiful daughters. I never completed college because I chose marriage and parenting. I have a history of depression, anxiety, PTSD and a newly revealed diagnoses of Disssociative Disorder. I am driven by my past willingness to survive beyond my suicidal thoughts. I want to help you do the same. Walk with us on The Mental Girls podcast.
Kim – A 21 year old grad student studying Psychology to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My desire to help is born from personal experience with anxiety and depression, in addition to self harm. I saw this podcast as an opportunity to help others to fight stigma and give hope to others who feel like no one understands them. Having fought through suicidal thoughts and WIN drive me to live a full life and help others find their way. You are NOT alone, join us on The Mental Girls Podcast.
