Hayley Kiyoko on the Importance of Keeping in Touch

Back in 2016, Hayley suffered from a concussion and post-concussion syndrome. This sparked bouts of depression. She tweeted this past January, "Ever since I hit my head I deal with depression. I'm sure many of you do too. I know it sucks, but you aren't alone. Let's go through it together. Let's hold each other. Let's fight the fight. We are capable. We don't deserve to feel this way. We deserve better. WE WILL GET BETTER."

In this Seize the Awkward video, Hayley, 28, says she goes to her sister when she's struggling with her mental health. "I kind of got to a point where I couldn't not talk about it," she shared, noting that she struggles on a regular basis. "When you don't talk about it, you feel more isolated, you feel more alone, and I'm sure many of you go through those feelings."
