I think we all know how important physical fitness, or at least regular exercise, is to mental health.
Imagine feeling like your worth depends on having a partner. That's the reality Melissa Stetten faced, and in this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', she opens up to host Paul Gilmartin about her struggles with depression and self-identity. Raised by parents who were largely indifferent, Melissa found herself battling feelings of worthlessness, especially when she wasn't in a relationship. Her candid conversation sheds light on the impact of childhood experiences on adult mental health.
Melissa talks about how therapy and medication helped her confront her fears and overcome the shame that had long held her back. She doesn't shy away from discussing the importance of physical fitness in maintaining mental health, a topic often overlooked but crucial for overall well-being. This episode isn't just about Melissa's journey; it also touches on broader themes like childhood trauma, addiction, and co-dependency. It's a heartfelt reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
If you're navigating similar challenges, Melissa's story might just offer the hope and solidarity you need.
