29 - No One Signs Your Cast
from Mental Note
*Please note: When this podcast was recorded, Shay was referenced as a straight male. Since this recording, Shay courageously came out as a transwoman and uses she/her pronouns.* Treatment for mental health issues rarely receives the same level of community support that a more visible struggle, like major surgery, does. But our friend, Shay, is out to change that. A straight male who received treatment for anorexia, Shay experienced push back from some of his closest friends when he made the choice to seek professional help. Yet, his friends were eager to lend sympathy when he fractured an ankle... What gives!? We are all about shifting this conversation along with Shay and cannot wait for you to hear more of his story. ___________________ Learn more about our storytellers and past episodes at mentalnotepodcast.com To speak with a trained therapist about what you're going through, please call 877-411-9578.
