Our final presenter, Jodi Bell, is dealing with depression and anxitey in a way that many may not be, she is taking matters into her own hands and ensuring that she gets the help she needs while she encourages others to do the same.

Sometimes, life takes us on a journey and, from time to time, we lose ourselves in the noise. This episode takes us on a quest to overcoming bad mindsets. Our speaker documents what she went through and how she got over seeing herself negatively and the constant need to compare herself to everyone.

For this season of Cirque du Peuple, we are tackling mental health. Unlike most other illnesses, mental health is sometimes the last thing persons get treated for because, for whatever reason, it is still not seen as a major concern; especially if it is not a psychotic disorder. Persons with mental illness are often labeled negatively by their peers and are sometimes isolated, which may explain why certain people avoid diagnosis.  Don't Be Fooled By Me is a poem written by Charles C. Finn is 1966 and it is still has importance to this day. The overall message of the poem speaks to this very concern, as well as, wanting help regardless of the rejection and stigma. If you know someone who is suffering from any form of mental illness, do not call them names, because bullying someone with mental illness usually has negative consequences and can lead to suicide.
