I mean it's so tricky, and it's been frustrating too, in my experience, with using substances or just having mental health issues in general, is you can't wait until you're perfectly healthy to have friends, to date someone to you know, start a new job to pursue your dreams, like you're always going to be dealing with something, but it is so difficult to figure out.
Relationships are tough enough without the added layer of mental illness. In this episode of 'Wishing You Wellness', Allison Toth invites Garrett to share his experiences and insights on navigating love and connection while managing mental health challenges. From the get-go, they dive into the nitty-gritty of dating when you're dealing with mental health issues, shedding light on the unique struggles and triumphs that come with it.
Garrett opens up about his personal journey, discussing the impact of personality disorders and trauma bonding on romantic relationships. He doesn't shy away from the tough stuff, including intrusive thoughts and the difficulty of maintaining boundaries in recovery. Allison and Garrett also explore alternative treatments for mental illness, like magic mushrooms and ayahuasca, offering listeners a fresh perspective on managing their mental health.
This episode is a heartfelt blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with similar challenges. Whether you're in a relationship or looking to start one, you'll find valuable insights and a sense of camaraderie in their honest conversation.
