🎙️ Support the show on Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/ErikGriffinGet exclusive episodes, bonus content, and early access. Even $5/month keeps this show going.---A special episode of Riffin With Griffin. Erik sits down with Louise Barnett, mental health advocate, author of Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir, and host of the podcast I'm Bipolar. Now What? Louise talks about the depression that hit her at 15, the years it took to get a bipolar diagnosis, drinking to numb the lows and fuel the highs, getting sober, and the moment her now-husband asked her to let him in. They get into how loved ones can spot the signs, why knowing your own baseline matters, boundaries and surviving the holidays, being proactive instead of reactive, and why the better question isn't "what's wrong with me?" but "what do I need?" If you're struggling, or you love someone who is, you're not alone.MORE FROM LOUISE BARNETT• Website: https://www.louisebarnett.com• Instagram: @LouiseDBarnett https://www.instagram.com/LouiseDBarnett• Book: Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir• Podcast: I'm Bipolar.

Erik sits down with Dr. Ankur Bhargava, addiction specialist at Groups Recover Together, to talk about what addiction actually is, why the word "addict" carries so much shame, what it does to the people who love someone struggling, how medication and counseling work together, the difference between a lapse and a relapse, and why recovery takes a village. If you or someone in your life is dealing with substance use, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.RESOURCES FROM DR.
