Now that we’ve gotten our first episode out of the way…. we’re (mainly Haruka) going to immediately overshare about our past negative experiences (in the context of a suppressive societal norm which is not the fault of our families and does not reflect our current relationship dynamics) to establish our friendship with one another by talking about mental health, and our experience growing up in a culture which suppresses talk about mental health.
Also, the thing Themis is talking about is mentioned in Ethan Watters Crazy Like Us, (and more specifically in the late 90s not 00s oops)
P.S Many names and people redacted into Roblox oof noises so we don’t get doxxed...
Please note: this episode is about us sharing our experiences, and we are not in any way trying to diagnose or recommend forms of treatment.
