Listen To CAMPUS: Episode 4 - GOING IN CIRCLES
Enter the mind of a student with bipolar disorder.
Blake Horsley shares his deepest fears while battling a mental illness during college.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of,
There's nothing to feel bad about,
And there's nothing to regret."
"All I want to do, right now, is walk with you,
And help you get the help that you need,
So that you can get better,
And, just... stay strong."
"I think that's one of hardest things I've ever had to deal with,
is losing a grip on stability and reality, and publicly, people seeing it.
There's so much shame involved with that, you feel so much stigma."
