To Combat his Feelings of Loneliness, a Poet Turns to Self-LoveAaron Ruth put together a book of his poetry after healing from a painful break-up. The book, Alone Together, details what it's like to experience deep feelings of loneliness and how to grow from that experience. We talked about some of the struggles we face as individuals that make it hard to reach out and make meaningful, and fulfilling connections, and how we can try to let our guard down and take off the masks we wear to allow others to see our authentic selves.

A bit of background:
I started this podcast to have open conversations about mental and emotional health. I never would have imagined that I would one day become an advocate and openly talk about my struggles. The last semester of my senior year of college, my world seemed to turn upside down as I fell deep into severe depression and struggled with anxiety and panic.
