Popsugar Celebrity Issa Rae Cute Pictures of the Insecure Cast Hanging Out Together Unlike the Show, the Insecure Cast Are All Actually Friends in Real Life June 14, 2020 by Monica Sisavat Solís First Published: September 28, 2017 View On One Page Photo 40 of 42 ADVERTISEMENT () Start Slideshow View this post on Instagram Nathan is complicated AF. Ghosting/No communication is probably my biggest pet peeve. It really has f***** me up many times and I’ve talked that. But I haven’t talked a lot about my history and family history with mental health. I’m blown away by all of the articles and tweets about mental health around this last episode. That’s super encouraging! Reading that last scene in the last episode really broke my heart because I know it all too well. I’ve seen it first hand with my close family, and friends. I have debilitating anxiety problems and I know trying to explain can be super frustrating. I’ve seen mental health problems constantly dismissed and excused in my life and in others’. Mental health is largely criminalized (our prison system is the biggest mental health institution in the world - and it shouldn’t be! To be clear) and stigmatized in America and especially in communities of color. People of color, especially men, are not allowed to have mental illness. By no means am I excusing no communication. And it doesn’t excuse Nathan ghosting! It’s a complex issue. If you have depression or any sort of mental health issue, the more communication, the better, especially to the right people! I go to therapy. I recommend EVERYONE DO IT. At the very least, it’s someone who is legally obligated to secrecy and to focus the attention on you and help you work through issues without the guilt of only talking about your self. BUT access to therapy is a huge problem that we need to address it. (That’s one reason I am very passionate about my involvement with @reformlajails which pushes alternatives to incarceration for mentally ill.) The writers of @insecurehbo had NO IDEA that I had this history, nor did they know I was from Houston, nor that I was afraid of heights, that I have skinny dipped many times 😜 (and particularly on an adventure with the first girl who showed me around LA). That’s amazing to me. Higher purpose. These pics from my last day of shooting. So grateful to be a part of this art and I appreciate you @issarae for bringing me into your @insecurehbo world! & Of course thank @the_a_prentice @hbo #insecureHBO (@classicdayna 📸 cred) A post shared by Kendrick Sampson (@kendrick38) on Oct 1, 2018 at 4:10pm PDT Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 40 Previous Next Start Slideshow Celebrity InstagramsInsecureIssa RaeCelebrity Friendships
