Recovery is hard to both achieve and maintain when it comes to mental illness. It's a long journey and in its wake are mistakes, missteps, and relapse. But, once you come out the other side and start living the life you were meant to live, everyone gets on board with the new you. Right?

Join our hosts as they discuss the family and friends who still don't trust our thoughts, views, and choices because of mental health symptoms we experienced in the past. Listen as they share how they feel about being told that everything they do isn't due to their personalities, but rather a symptom of bipolar or schizophrenia.
