M6 task

This task is over mental illness. I chose to interview people who have lived with mental illness and how it has effected their life. For this assignment I decided to talk about depression and substance abuse. I decided to interview two different people on depression. One of these people is my coach. Her testimony is amazing, but prior to Jesus she had it rough. She went through an event in her life that was terrible and she was in a very dark place because of that. Coach Naudin told me a little about what it was like to live with depression and how it effected her everyday life. Coach Naudin told me how one minute she would be fine, she would feel normal, but the next she would be so sad that she felt as if she couldn't even get out of bed.

I also interviewed one of my friends on the softball team. She is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet, however she has struggled with depression almost her whole life. She explained to me some issues she had growing up with her family, and how this led to her depression. She explained how although with Medication, it is able to be managed.
