It's just not the right place for depressed people, it's just not.
Imagine hitting rock bottom so hard that a guy in a bedsheet toga cutting in line for custard feels like the least of your worries. That's where Rosie Waterland found herself at twenty-four, in a mental institution, reflecting on a life spiraling out of control.
In this episode of 'Mum Says My Memoir Is A Lie', Rosie takes us back to that tumultuous time, offering a candid look at her struggles with depression, a toxic relationship, and the aftermath of childhood trauma. Rosie's story starts with meeting a seemingly perfect boy during her job at the movies. He seemed like the end to her destructive partying phase, but turned out to be the disaster she needed to truly hit rock bottom.
As their relationship soured, Rosie's mental state deteriorated, leading her to seek serious help. Seven years later, Rosie revisits these dark days with a fresh perspective, sharing insights she's gained since writing about it in 'The Anti-Cool Girl'. This episode isn't just about recounting past pain; it's about understanding the depths of mental illness and the importance of seeking help. Rosie talks openly about the stigma surrounding mental health and the urgent need for better care.
Her raw honesty offers hope and strength, showing that even in the darkest times, there's a way to claw your way back up. For anyone dealing with similar struggles or supporting someone who is, Rosie's journey is both a cautionary tale and a beacon of resilience. Her experiences underscore the importance of addressing mental health head-on and finding the support needed to heal.
Tune in for a powerful story that mixes heartbreak with humor, shedding light on the often-hidden battles many face.
