Advice on dealing with Mental Health related roadblocks

Hello all! (Very excited, my first official itch jam)

I am planning to contribute between 1-3 audio files, essentially podcast episodes, with advice on working in a creative field while dealing certain mental health conditions. I will definitely be talking about ADHD and Imposter Syndrome (the two I have the most experience with), and possibly go into one more topic. The episodes will cover my own (and my collaborator's) lived experience and the ways we deal with these roadblocks, going into different approaches for different situations, and possibly even touch on some science about each subject.

Ironically, the main challenge for me will be to overcome those same roadblocks to create these resources, but hey, this will be a "practice what you preach" moment!

Also really diggin this concept, and want to do something similar but with depression related roadblocks and in text format. Looking forward to what we end up with!

As someone who suffers from several mental health issues, I am looking forward for this resource.

this is a really great idea!

have you already planned an approximate length of time? and if it's short, do you think you could make a written transcript of it? (that would be really cool)

Great question! We'll be getting together over the next few weekends to do the recordings. Since they'll be somewhat freeform, I'll see if it's feasible to do an actual transcript or instead create some type of summary of points and resources.
