🍒 Chapter 23: Flooding of Mental Health Issues
This episode focuses on Cece's mental health history and neurodivergence. She reflects on growing up in an anxious, high-stimulation world and shares memories of her Nana’s understanding of depression as a true chemical imbalance.
Cece explains her diagnoses over time — including ADHD, learning differences in math and science, OCD tendencies, bipolar II, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, seasonal affective disorder, and insomnia. She describes how treatment evolved through medication, counseling, and self-care strategies.
The chapter blends humor with vulnerability as she illustrates what ADHD feels like in everyday life, how her brain jumps between tasks, and how structure sometimes becomes more consuming than productivity. Ultimately, she highlights how finding the right support and balance helped her stabilize and grow.
