Finding Space for Mental Health in Relationships

In today’s episode, I take you all with me on a little Sydel life history trip to revisit some previous relationships of mine and speak to how my mental health journey was impacted over the course of those times in my life. Leading to my current relationship with my husband, Damion, and the steps we take every day to work together while also giving each other the space to work on ourselves separately when we need to. Many of you listeners have submitted questions regarding your own mental health and asked how to best navigate having a partner while also taking care of your mental. Whether it’s a toxic relationship that you can’t seem to let go of or a relationship that you want to continue to thrive, I hope to provide some comfort and acknowledgement to how to best create that space for your mental health while being with someone else. It’s important to recognize your worth and value that you bring to the table and I want this episode to encourage you to take those needed moments for yourself.   For more information on mental health, learning how to help a loved one, developing coping skills and more, visit the Mental Health Coalition’s Resource Library at thementalhealthcoalition.org/resources    Because Life is a Dear Media Production in association with Scale Productions.   Follow Because Life:  @becauselifewithsydel Follow Me:  @sydelcurrylee   Produced by Dear Media
