Let’s be honest about… mental health.
Until recently, opening up about my depression and anxiety and how that influenced my creative studio (L. Rae Design) was something I never imagined doing. I wanted to keep up the smiles and the *no-problems-here* facade because I thought depression or anxiety somehow made me look weak or would lead to being judged, seen as incompetent and repel potential clients, social audiences and even friends and family.
