Eileen Is Alive: Summer Life Update (Solo)

Trigger warning: Severe physical and emotional trauma.    Shamsa Araweelo grew up in Somalia, where when she was only 6 years old, she was taken by family to be cut. Today, she opens up to Eileen about her experience suffering from female genital mutilation (FGM).    FGM refers to all procedures involving partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is often carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15 as a way to suppress sexuality and ensure virginity. According to the United Nations, an estimated 200 million women and girls worldwide have undergone some form of FGM.    Shamsa now resides in the UK and shares her experience to raise awareness and funds for those who are victims of FGM. She and Eileen discuss her heartbreaking story, how she refuses to be defined by it, why FGM occurs, how we can stop it, and more.       Show links:   Follow @eileen on Instagram Follow @killerandasweetthang on Instagram Follow @eileeninparis on TikTok  More information at: Goingmental.com

Emily Ratajkowski, Retired Pick-Me Girl, on Therapy, Facetune, & Leaving Her Marriage 

"She's crazy!" GOING MENTAL was born out of host Eileen Kelly’s commitment to destigmatizing mental health concerns while reclaiming her own narrative. In 2016, Eileen created the blog KILLER AND A SWEET THANG to make sense of things she wished she could have discussed with her mother, whom she lost at a young age: crushes, boyfriends, going on birth control, getting her period. Eileen quickly found herself running one of the most popular blogs of the 2010s, publishing hundreds of articles on sex and identity from other young writers. Despite such early success, internal struggles and a crippling personality disorder drove Eileen to seek treatment at McLean — one of the oldest mental hospitals in the country. After five months and some serious self-discovery, she returned to the outside world looking for a way to disseminate what she'd learned in treatment and connect to others with similar experiences: That's how GOING MENTAL was born. Each week, Eileen interviews some of today’s most compelling media figures, artists, authors, and celebrities about their own mental health journeys, along with a range of experts who provide information and support around various mental conditions. New episodes releasing every Thursday.

Life After Rock Bottom: Arielle Lorre on Addiction & Plastic Surgery

Dissociative identity disorder, previously called multiple personality disorder, is a condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states, or "alters." The disorder arises as a response to childhood trauma — each alter may have a unique name, personal history, and characteristics. To learn more about DID, we're joined by Ella, who lives with over 30 alters. They tell Eileen about their diagnosis, life with alternate personalities, and how they've used Instagram to debunk myths around DID.    Ella is also the author of a non-fiction guide book to DID and Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD), which will be released this May through Jessica Kingsley Publishers. You can follow them on Instagram at @dissociation.info.     Check Out squarespace.com/goingmental for a free trial, and when you’re ready to launch, use OFFER CODE: GOINGMENTAL to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.

Dissociative Identity Disorder: Life with Over 30 Parts

Steven Donziger is an American attorney known for his legal battles with Chevron. In his most famous case, Aguinda v. Texaco, Inc, he represented over 30,000 farmers and indigenous people in Ecuador, who suffered environmental damage and health issues caused by oil drilling. The Ecuadorian court ordered Chevron to pay over $9 billion in damages, which led Chevron to withdraw its assets from Ecuador and launch legal action against Donziger in the US. In the end, he was disbarred, sentenced to prison time, and spent 993 days under house arrest.  Eileen and Donziger discuss what led him to Ecuador in the first place, climate change and mental health, how to fight big corporations, and what to do when you feel the whole world is conspiring against you.  Visit  freedonziger.com to learn more about his case and donate to his legal defense fund.

"She's crazy!" GOING MENTAL was born out of host Eileen Kelly’s commitment to destigmatizing mental health concerns while reclaiming her own narrative. In 2016, Eileen created the blog KILLER AND A SWEET THANG to make sense of things she wished she could have discussed with her mother, whom she lost at a young age: crushes, boyfriends, going on birth control, getting her period. Eileen quickly found herself running one of the most popular blogs of the 2010s, publishing hundreds of articles on sex and identity from other young writers. Despite such early success, internal struggles and a crippling personality disorder drove Eileen to seek treatment at McLean — one of the oldest mental hospitals in the country. After five months and some serious self-discovery, she returned to the outside world looking for a way to disseminate what she'd learned in treatment and connect to others with similar experiences: That's how GOING MENTAL was born. Each week, Eileen interviews some of today’s most compelling media figures, artists, authors, and celebrities about their own mental health journeys, along with a range of experts who provide information and support around various mental conditions. New episodes releasing every Thursday.
