Summary
This episode has some tough questions! I'm glad you aren't going easy on me. Keep them coming, please! Here is what I cover:
- How can you tell the difference between self-care and just being lazy or avoiding?
- What can I do when I am jealous of my friend making close relationships with other people?
- What should I do, as a senior in high school, about my mental health issues?
