Teresa Strasser's Battle with Sleep Deprivation and Mental Health Misdiagnosis

Struggle is struggle, you know to me, it doesn't matter where it ranks.
Ever wonder what it's like to be severely sleep-deprived and misdiagnosed? Teresa Strasser returns to 'Mental Illness Happy Hour' to share her harrowing experience. She talks about the overwhelming pressure of perfectionism and the unexpected turn of events that led to her involuntary stay in a psych ward. Host Paul Gilmartin joins her in an open conversation about their personal fears, loves, and the relentless stigma surrounding mental health issues.
They dive into the complexities of being a parent while struggling with mental health, the challenges of coping mechanisms, and the ever-present fear of not measuring up. The episode also touches on achievement addiction and the toxic masculinity that often fuels it. Through their stories, they offer a compassionate perspective and a reminder that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.
Tune in for an episode that combines raw honesty with heartfelt support, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with mental health challenges.
