Riding the Struggle Bus: Sharing Mental Health Challenges

Today we revisit a recording never published from a year ago, exploring the challenges of sharing with mental health struggles.  Episode Highlights: • I look at  the difficulty of deciding how much to share about personal struggles, especially regarding mental health issues. • I share  my coping strategies that I tried (that were hard to actually do when struggling):   - Using meditation    - Setting a 25-minute timer to complete tasks   - Journaling to process thoughts and feelings   - Prioritizing exercise and socialization • I discuss balancing vulnerability with the concern of worrying loved ones. • The importance of Resilience to deal with  recurring episodes of struggle • The value of learning and practicing coping skills during better times to build resilience for future challenges. • The importance of seeking help and talking about your experiences.
