Riding the Struggle Bus: Sharing Mental Health Challenges
Manage episode 439561344 series 2966858
Today we revisit a recording never published from a year ago, exploring the challenges of sharing with mental health struggles.
Episode Highlights:
• I look at the difficulty of deciding how much to share about personal struggles, especially regarding mental health issues.
• I share my coping strategies that I tried (that were hard to actually do when struggling):
- Using meditation
- Setting a 25-minute timer to complete tasks
- Journaling to process thoughts and feelings
- Prioritizing exercise and socialization
• I discuss balancing vulnerability with the concern of worrying loved ones.
• The importance of Resilience to deal with recurring episodes of struggle
• The value of learning and practicing coping skills during better times to build resilience for future challenges.
• The importance of seeking help and talking about your experiences.
