One Hour Song Challenge (While Depressed) [Discussing My Mental Health Battles]

Подробнее о видео

This week, I wanted to change it up. I've been having a rough mental health week so I thought it would be beneficial to be open and honest about my battle with Bipolar Type 2. Since this is a production channel, I thought it was only fair to still make a track while I chat about it. I dive into how I balance work with my mood and fluctuations, how I maintain habits even when I'm not feeling great, and why sometimes you just have to power through a low point, even when it's tough.
