I was really only staying with him because of how he made me feel. He'd become my only family and I worried about how I'd handle life without him.
Ever felt like a relationship could be your lifeline? In this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie', Rosie Waterland takes us back to her teenage years, where she found herself relying on a boyfriend to fill the emotional gaps in her life. Meet Josh, the day student who became her anchor during those tumultuous final weeks of school. Their relationship, however, was far from a fairytale.
Rosie candidly recounts how her dependency on Josh mirrored the dependency one might have on a drug, offering temporary relief from the depression that was slowly consuming her mind. As she snuggled into Josh's shoulder, her mental health struggles seemed to fade away, only to return with a vengeance when he wasn't around. This episode is a raw and unfiltered look at how young love can sometimes be a band-aid for deeper issues.
Rosie doesn’t shy away from discussing her suicidal thoughts and the crucial role therapy played in her journey towards self-worth. She also sheds light on the flaws within the mental health system and emphasizes the importance of accessible care for those in need. If you’ve ever wondered how personal relationships can impact mental health, or if you’re seeking an honest account of one woman’s path to self-discovery, this episode is a must-listen.
Rosie’s story is not just about the struggles; it’s about finding strength and learning to stand on your own two feet, even when life gets rough.
