Welcome to my channel! So I finally bought a new mic after my old one broke so the chatty podcast-style videos are back! I apologise that it has been so long but I hope you’re looking forward to future videos! This video covers very sensitive and important topics. Please check the pinned comment for trigger warnings/when certain topics are mentioned. I really hope you’re able to take something substantial away from this video and that it has helped you in some way. I don’t often speak up about my opinions as I feel there are many people on youtube who are much more qualified than me to cover these topics, however I think it’s important to be truthful and honest online and share my thoughts. If you need support, please contact a friend, family member or a stranger on a mental health hotline if you feel more comfortable doing so.
