To The Journey 102: I Need My Pain

Trek Through the Tough Times. All of our lives are full of ups and downs. Though our minds gravitate towards looking back at the good times, the tougher times often equally affect who we become. In this episode of To The Journey, Char and Tristan share how Voyager — and Star Trek in general — has been a constant and uplifting means of support through the more difficult periods in their lives, and how these experiences helped to shape the people they are today. Remember that when you are feeling down, Trek is always there to lend a positive presence. If you are suffering from depression and/or other mental health conditions, you are not alone. Please seek help and get the support you need.
