I think there's a gift sometimes in not getting your way, because it forces us to look at things that we wouldn't look at if we were getting our way.
Ever felt like you're watching your life from the outside, as if you're not really there? Janet Varney knows this feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin welcomes back his former 'Dinner and a Movie' cohost to discuss her journey with depersonalization syndrome.
This dissociative disorder can make you feel detached from yourself and the world around you, and Janet opens up about how it has impacted her life and career in the entertainment industry. From the challenges of maintaining relationships to navigating panic attacks, she shares her story with raw honesty and a touch of humor. Paul and Janet also dive into broader mental health topics, such as the importance of self-care, therapy, and finding grounding practices.
They touch on adoption, survivor's guilt, and even the unexpected healing power of improv comedy and animal therapy. Whether you're familiar with depersonalization syndrome or just curious about mental health, this episode offers a compassionate look at living with and managing this condition. Tune in for an engaging conversation that reminds us all we're not alone in our struggles.
