I want people to know that there is hope and that recovery is possible. It may not be easy, but it is worth it.
Imagine growing up with a father who often loses touch with reality. For Christina Jasberg, this was her childhood, as her father struggled with Schizo-Affective Disorder. By her twenties, Christina faced the same diagnosis, along with bulimia, anorexia, and self-harm. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Christina opens up about her harrowing journey and how she found her way to recovery. With over 80 hospitalizations behind her, Christina's story is one of resilience and hope.
She talks about the critical role of therapy and finding the right therapist, the impact of medication, and the power of self-care and support. But it's not just her personal battles that Christina discusses. The episode also touches on transgender issues, the lasting effects of childhood trauma, and the need for tailored mental health treatments.
If you're looking for a story that underscores the importance of seeking help and the possibility of recovery, Christina's candid conversation with host Paul Gilmartin offers just that. It's a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the healing power of sharing one's story.
