If I'm going to rest, I need mountains feel like they might meet my sadness.
Ever thought moving to the countryside would solve all your problems? Rebecca Schiller did. In this episode of 'How To Be Sad with Helen Russell', Rebecca, a writer and campaigner, shares her journey from city life to a rural smallholding. What she found was not the idyllic simplicity she hoped for but a deeper understanding of herself and her mental health struggles.
Living with undiagnosed ADHD, Rebecca faced depression and anxiety head-on, discovering that nature isn't a quick fix for life's complexities. She candidly discusses the challenges of motherhood, societal pressures, and the myth of the 'neat and happy ending'. Instead of finding a perfect solution, Rebecca learned to embrace the messiness of life. Helen and Rebecca delve into topics like neurodiversity, the unexpected positives of having a 'different' brain, and the importance of self-compassion.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that it's okay to be both happy and sad, and that understanding our struggles can lead to profound personal growth. Tune in for an honest conversation that might just change how you view your own journey.
