You might have heard the slang term, "No CAP" or seen the blue cap emoji used in a group chats. The term is used to convey that someone is being totally and completely honest; therefore, adding the word "CAP" pretty much means lie. In a time where many people have a flawless public facade on their social media accounts, it’s no surprise that this word has become popular. Many individuals CAP by wearing a mask and hiding their true feelings. These individuals may refuse to set boundaries and remain uncomfortable for fear of displeasing others or suffer silently in despair to appear outwardly strong or capable. Join Tee as she talks the real, No CAP, and discusses the importance of showing up for yourself and how using the term "high functioning" depression can reinforce the shame/stigma associated with depression.
