<p>In this podcast episode, I discuss how connecting with people is the most rewarding aspect of doing the podcast. In addition, I read three stories that had been submitted. In one, a person vents about problems with their family and how their mother doesn't understand their gender dysmorphia; in another, a person seeks advice for their narcissistic tendencies and violent thoughts; and in the third, a listener asks for advice on how to avoid going back to the psychiatric ward.</p>

In this podcast, we get honest about our challenges with mental health and connect with others who share those struggles. We also discuss circumstances in life that could impact our mental health. The main goal of this podcast is to establish connections with listeners and offer support. The host of the show is battling his own mental health issues and wants to assist others as much as he can.
