This is an ABC podcast.

Hi, I'm Sona Kedarar and you're listening to All In The Mind here on RN.

Today, part five of a six-week run of No Feeling is Final, an award-winning series from ABC Audio Studios. It's a memoir,

a deep dive into Honor Reesley's mental health experience. For years, Honor made phone recordings

and diary entries to document this journey. Most people probably wouldn't know that there's anything

with me and probably there's anything wrong with me. And, there's anything wrong with me.

Probably no one would think that maybe I had a mental illness until now.

This material was then used to create the series, which is being broadcast on radio for the first time.

This version has been edited for the radio, but the full version is still available as a podcast.

Just search, no feeling is final.

As it's a memoir, it is just one person's perspective.

And a warning, you'll be hearing strong language and discussions of suicide and drug use.

At this point, honours had a stint in hospital and multiple courses of medication, mostly to no effect.

But in this episode, she starts to turn a corner, thanks in part to the internet.

So, where do you go when you feel like a masticated maraschino cherry?

Like you've been chewed up and spat out the other side?

Well, a few places, actually.

So I'm in the car and I'm about to go to the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Orientation Program. I'm really fucking tired. And honestly I don't want to be here, but I should.

So I am a bit nervous about meeting other people, but I'm sure I'll be fine.

It's all good, it's okay.

I'm doing this year-long program called Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT. Twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, I drive 45 minutes across town, making up songs or recording voice memos to myself along the way.
