The comedic writer/performer and mental health advocate who started www.projecturok.org shares about the tremendous support she received from her family when depression anxiety and OCD had her close to suicide by age 10, and even more despondent from 15-17. Her story is a great example of parental support, the power of coping skills, and proof that even people from safe supportive homes with no trauma in their lives can suffer from mental illness because the issue is often one of chemical imbalance.Follow Jenny on Twitter @JennyJaffe and @JennyJaffe on InstagramCheck out her Facebook page www.facebook.com/jennyjaffeVisit her website www.theJennyJaffe.comAnd of course check out www.ProjectUROK.orgThis ep is sponsored by BetterHelp online therapy.  To try it and get a week for free go to www.BetterHelp.com/mentalTo support the podcast consider becoming a one-time or recurring monthly donor or donating frequent flyer miles.
