Hey, what’s up, Tasha and winos! I’m watching the replay on YouTube now from last night and I just had to write this to thank you so much for talking about mental health when you were talking about Kanye West. Just to share a bit of what I’ve been going through for the past few years now, my husband is a combat veteran and has been struggling with mental health illnesses since 2020 and it has escalated over the past couple of years. 

It’s been hard & has been a lot of scary moments. Mania, suicidal tendencies and attempts, depression, psychotic breaks, you name it. I’ve experienced it and it has been a lot to deal with. I’m so grateful for Tasha and the space that she has created because this has really been a saving grace for me. I’m so thankful because right now as I speak my husband has returned to work and it’s been a couple of weeks now. He hasn’t been able to work since 11/23 and he’s been in and out of the hospital and a few times involuntarily. I’ve cried A LOT not knowing what’s next and at times feeling like I didn’t know him anymore. 

When I saw that clip of his documentary, and saw Kim Kardashian, crying and saying the things that she said to him, I literally felt that! I don’t even rock with the Kardashians like that, never followed them, but you don’t have to like someone or anything like that to have compassion and understand what they’re going through Especially when you can relate to their situation. 

Last year when you had the wino tour I knew it was gonna be hard for me to come to a show but our son took the time to come and stay with him while I came to Charlotte. That was one of the best times I had last year ‘cause 2024 was hell 🔥 for me. 

Yes mental health issues are real and many people can’t understand that. Unless you have a stroke, brain cancer, a brain bleed or brain aneurysm they don’t get it about brain health and how illnesses can affect your actions.

Anyway, thanks for that and even though I cried a little bit while you were talking the TS Madison shade right after literally made me lmao 🤣 We gotta laugh to keep from crying. Thanks Tasha, Peaches and all the winos for your prayers.
