TW: suicide
In 2018, I faced serious mental health challenges, exacerbated by #chronicillness and reached a point where I planned to take my life. My #academic and #research productivity had slowed. 1/2 #BellLetsTalk #phdchat https://twitter.com/Bell_LetsTalk/status/1354634302319824896
With support from @umanitoba services for students, I accessed swift assessment with social work, #psychiatry and #counselling. I received immediate and ongoing treatment for #adhd, #OCD and #depression. I didn't think I'd ever make it. I defended my PhD last week. 2/3
As much as we say "talk about mental health!" That was the hardest conversation I've ever had with my supervisor, and also the most support I've ever felt. It isn't unprofessional to have #mentalillness. It's time to walk the walk. My story isn't unique, but we don't all make it.
