We’ve all heard about the classic “it’s not you, it’s me” breakup speech, but what if “it’s not me, it’s you”? This week my friend Ana and I discuss the problem with being in a relationship when engaged in mental illness and the importance of learning to love yourself before you can love somebody else (can I get an AMEN? - Ru Paul). This is PTPB’s most personal episode yet, so naturally, a LOT of f-bombs were dropped in the making.
TRIGGER WARNING: Mental illness is the focus of this episode, specifically depression, bulimia & mental/emotional/physical abuse.
If you need to talk to someone regarding your mental health, Canada has several resources including @wellnesstogethercanada and the Hope for Wellness Help Line dedicated to all Indigenous peoples across Canada @ 1-855-242-3310 (toll free).
Remember, you are not alone & your mental health matters.
