LET'S TALK ABOUR SUICIDE, SELF HARM & ALL THINGS HOSPILISATION WITH DANNI | TW: Suicide, Self-Harm, ED, Hospitalisation + related possible triggering topics.

This week on the podcast, Ash (@ashleighxorose) & Indi (@fueledbyindi) have the sit down with Danni, a future social worker that we need and a woman who's fighting for more conversation about all things mental health. From explaining her experience with Borderline Personality Disorder to her hospilisation trips, this episode is one that gets *real*.

If you need to take some breaks whilst listening we understand, but this episode is important as it explores what it's like for those with mental illness, as well as addiction, to heal whilst dealing with the world's harsh and unfair stigma placed on them that affects their life in more ways than you could imagine.

If you need to talk to someone regarding any topics in this episode, please call Lifeline at 13 11 14. Texting is also available via Lifeline.
