I don't know why anyone would act surprised at my behaviors at this point in the game, exactly like there. There's certain situations in which people have gotten the impression of me, like an impression that wasn't true, that was very much my disease, and not like who I actually am.
Zo kicks off this episode of 'Mind on Recovery' with a special guest—Gus. As the podcast's first interviewee, Gus brings a fresh and personal perspective to the table. The conversation dives deep into his history with mental health, tackling issues like body shaming and family dynamics. Gus doesn't hold back as he shares his journey, highlighting how these experiences have shaped him and the importance of therapy and treatment in his recovery.
One of the most striking moments comes when Gus says, 'There's certain situations in which people have gotten the impression of me, like an impression that wasn't true, that was very much my disease, and not like who I actually am'. This quote encapsulates the struggle many face in separating their identity from their mental health issues. Throughout the episode, Zo and Gus emphasize the need to break down stigmas and push for greater acceptance and understanding in society.
They also touch on how societal pressures can exacerbate mental health issues, making the conversation all the more relevant. If you're looking for an authentic discussion filled with real-life experiences and valuable insights, this episode is a must-listen.
