    Sometimes in Shambles Trailer
    Jul 17 2020
    Welcome to Sometimes in Shambles, the mental health podcast. I’m Melissa, your host, and this is where I talk about all my personal experiences with mental illness. I have anxiety, depression, and recently, some PTSD. My hope is that through sharing my experiences such as leaving the mormon church, breaking up with friends, some isolation in college, therapy and a lot of other experiences, I can let you know that you’re not alone in your own mental health journey and a lot of us face the same challenges and feelings. Join me in talking about all these personal experiences and help spread the word that no one is alone, especially when it comes to mental illness.

  • Going with the Flow

    Going with the Flow
    Jul 14 2020

    I finally feel like I'm in a good place (my therapist thinks so too) and am just going with the flow in all parts of my life.

    I wanted to update everyone on what I've been up to while the show took a small, unintentional hiatus. In the first half of this episode, I talk about hobbies and things I've been doing in quarantine, and in the second half, I talk about how I've been working on my communication skills to strengthen my relationships and self.
