How can someone currently struggling with depression work to get out of the cycle? How can people best support someone struggling with depression? During the episode, Jacob asked a very important question concerning gay men and our childhood experiences: “What happens when someone can’t connect with themself?” and as children, we often can’t connect with ourselves fully once we realize something is “different” about us and we begin hiding who we truly are, but is that creating disassociation within us and our community?
