Dear Abbey, mental battles and struggling to connect with your partner
from Dear Abbey · host dear abbey
Todayyy we talk about ways to stay close to your significant other and loved ones when you're struggling mentally. I talk about my ups and downs with my Bipolar Depression II, and how my depression has been and how I manage those lows now after being diagnosed. I share some ideas and ways to take the pressure off your partner or loved ones to "save you" or to be a "perfect" support person. How it can damage our recovery when we rely heavily on others to fix or reassure us. I hope you enjoy!
