I became so addicted to the attention and I think the high that I was getting from the attention that I almost fell in love with intrigue.
Ever felt like you're trapped in a dark tunnel with no end in sight? That's exactly how Liz E, a 44-year-old single mom, felt when her medications stopped working, plunging her into a severe depressive episode. In this deeply personal episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Liz opens up to host Paul Gilmartin about her harrowing experience and the steps she took to claw her way back to the light.
Liz's story isn't just about her battle with depression; it's a tapestry woven with threads of family enmeshment, addiction, and the complicated dynamics with a father who had unsettling boundaries. Her journey also touches on her lifelong struggle with seeking validation through relationships with men. But this isn't a tale of despair—it's one of resilience and self-discovery. Liz shares how she broke free from these patterns, found effective therapy, and built a support system that helped her rediscover self-love.
Paul and Liz's conversation is raw, honest, and filled with moments of vulnerability that many will find relatable. They dive into the importance of therapy, the power of support groups, and the role of spirituality in healing. If you've ever felt isolated in your mental health struggles, Liz's story might just be the beacon of hope you need.
