when you can't afford to be sad (dealing with mental health as an adult)
how do you prevent your life from falling apart when you don’t feel like doing anything? Can we even afford a mental health day? we hear from individuals who have juggled their mental health challenges with professional life, learning about their coping mechanisms and the support systems that have helped them persevere. we discuss practical self-help strategies that go beyond traditional therapy, such as engaging in hobbies, utilizing third spaces for relaxation, and the benefits of peer-to-peer support networks. we also talk to Dr. Jessi Gold about how not to let life unravel when facing mental health issues.
