In a candid conversation, Ming Li shared her struggles with depression that led her to self-harm during her teenage years. Reflecting on those dark times between ages 15 to 18, she described feeling isolated and trapped in her own mind despite having the love and support of her family. Ming explained that her self-harm was a way to cope with overwhelming mental pain when words and therapy didn’t help. “Sometimes physical pain feels easier to manage than mental pain,” she revealed.
Ming emphasized the importance of genuine support, faith, and self-love in healing, crediting her relationship with God and trusted people around her for her gradual recovery. She also discussed the ongoing challenge of living with sickle cell disease, describing episodes of intense pain and fatigue that often leave her debilitated. Ming’s story highlights the complex intersection of mental health and chronic physical illness, inspiring others to seek hope and understanding.
