Today’s episode cover’s topics of mental health, depression and anxiety and may be triggering to some listeners. If you or a loved one is in need of help, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.Sometimes all we have are feelings - senses that engulf us, stop us. Feelings that make us paranoid or curious, self-aware or self-inflicted. Mostly, they leave us exhausted. Charlotte Middleton was exhausted. She didn’t know why she felt sad as a kid but she knew the feeling wasn’t something minor, it felt different and she would be different because of it.‘Invisible’ and ‘misunderstood’ are the best words we can put towards having a lived experience of mental health.

Today, Charlotte shares what unfolded then and how it’s played out now, drawing a path of hope, compassion and kindness for the future.Full Show Notes: https://www.modibodi.com/pages/the-red-tales -Follow:Follow Modibodi RED on Instagram:http://bit.ly/ModiBodiRedInsta-Visit Modibodi RED: http://bit.ly/37mynYy -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/37eV6W
