Pauly David's Journey: From Feeling Unlovable to Finding Healing
“I used to enjoy turbulence and airplanes because it's like okay now, now I don't have to make the decision to kill myself.”
Ever wondered what it feels like to grow up feeling unlovable? Pauly David, co-host of YouTube's 'Pauly & Monks', knows this all too well. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Pauly opens up to host Paul Gilmartin about his deeply personal struggles with anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. Growing up, Pauly had to be the adult in his family from the tender age of nine.
He talks about the pressure of trying to 'fix' others, equating money with love, and the painful rejection he faced from relatives for being gay. And if that wasn’t enough, his story includes a shocking incident involving his Bruce Willis-admiring grandfather shooting his grandmother. This episode dives into the stigma surrounding mental health and explores how therapy and support groups have been crucial in Pauly's journey towards self-acceptance and healing.
It’s a raw, honest conversation that sheds light on the power of vulnerability and the importance of seeking help. If you're grappling with similar issues or want to understand the complexities of mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
