It sucks to want help and not be able to get it.
Growing up isn't easy, but for Tee-Tee, a Vietnamese-Australian, it was a battle against the odds. Raised by a single mother grappling with OCD and PTSD, Tee-Tee faced the harsh realities of inner-city poverty in Melbourne. Add to that the sting of racism and the pressure to fit into his own community, and you have a story that's as heart-wrenching as it is inspiring.
In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Tee-Tee to unravel his incredible journey of resilience and self-discovery. Despite the heavy weight of his circumstances, Tee-Tee found an outlet in creativity and self-expression, which became his lifeline. Through therapy and a lot of soul-searching, he learned to embrace his past and transform his struggles into strengths. This conversation touches on the themes of childhood trauma, mental health stigma, and the quest for belonging.
It's a raw and honest look at how one person turned adversity into hope, offering listeners a poignant reminder that even in the darkest times, there's a way forward.
