I NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE READ!!

tw: mention of anxiety, depression.

hey. my name is sasha and i am interested in doing a project on mental health with a focus on the healing process. as a person who is dealing with anxiety and depression, i want to hear from others about their experiences relating to mental health.

mental health is tremendously personal. each person has a story, and if you have one, and you want to share it, i'd like to hear it.

this project may evolve into a zine, a blog, or even a film to be screened at a feminist and queer film fest at my university this spring. i don't know exactly what; i want to see what others are interested in making and doing.
