Open Secrets editor Rachel Kramer Bussel here. Since it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m experimenting with the Open Secrets podcast to discuss my own mental health. My essay on stopping posting on social media for the sake of my mental health generated so many wonderful comments and shares from people who feel similarly, I’m reading it aloud and adding some thoughts about how my social media cleanse is working out in practice. If you like the episode, please comment and/or share it with a friend.
