I swear I have not slept in a week cause of submissions of assignments and I wish some of my lecturers would be merciful...

Linda Palson hi Linda! Thank you for your comment. I’m Jordy (from the video). I hear you. I think the right healing techniques are unique to each individual. I know there are chemical components to mental illness and sometimes those things can make one feel sick or ill, and maybe you could perceive that as damaged. But when it comes to mental well-being, I think we all experience some kind of mental illness at some point in our lives. You are not alone and there is such great work being done for wellness. Keep searching for the healing techniques that work for you. Much love! - Jordy
