What were the darkest times of your life? What to do and how to react when hitting rock bottom in life? These, and other questions we (Angelica and Luminita) asked each other in this new (storytime style) episode of Post Soviet Sisters Podcast 😓

Today, you will hear the story of Luminita, why alcoholism is just a matter of problem-solving avoidance, how high expectations can crash, and why hitting rock bottom early in life might actually be beneficial.

Honoring the #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we decided to tell you about the darkest times of our lives and how exactly we managed to climb back after hitting the rock bottom. This 2-part episode has the purpose to make you more sensible about the topic of mental health, give you some tips and signs to look for when you notice someone being "not as usual", and, maybe, encourage and inspire you to finally take the matter in your own hands and "save yourself".
