Lillith's Story: Life as an Escort and Battling Bipolar Disorder

People come to see me because they're looking for a connection and they're looking for a guilt-free connection, and that's something that they feel like they have to pay for, which is kind of sad.
What drives someone to lead a double life as an escort while holding down a regular day job? In this eye-opening episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Lillith (a pseudonym) to uncover her unique journey. Lillith, who lives with rapid cycling Bipolar type I, shares her candid experiences about why she chooses to work as an escort despite having a stable job.
She opens up about the emotional and psychological impacts of her childhood sexual trauma and how her manic episodes have surprisingly aided her academic success. Lillith also sheds light on the myths and truths surrounding sex work, offering a perspective that's both raw and enlightening. She explains that many of her clients seek a connection they feel unable to find elsewhere, even if it means paying for it.
This episode doesn't shy away from the tough questions, delving into the complexities of mental health, trauma, and the search for human connection. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the nuanced realities of living with bipolar disorder and working in the sex industry.
