“I found this podcast via the This.Is.Polar IG page. I am a mother of a daughter who killed herself 6 yrs ago at 24 years old. She had Major Depressive Disorder with suicide ideation. She tried to kill herself a few times. Her younger brother, my son, has been struggling with his mental health for years now. He has never been officially diagnosed but had a manic episode 7 years ago which his psychiatrist at the time thought may have been triggered by weed. Since that time it’s been rough - quite a few major losses (his sister, his father, grandmother and a few others) - he has not been able to work but has traveled extensively around the world looking for something to help him. He meditates, he studies Buddhism, he practices yoga, he engages in various movement modalities, he has been sober for 5 years - still, he has erratic emotions throughout a single day, it’s painful for him to focus, make decisions, and he often reacts impulsively looking for the “next right thing.” He has been refusing to get help or go back on medication. I’m saying all this because I want to learn about various MI’s and it seems very possible that he has BP. I realize that all these years I’ve been walking on eggshells in fear of saying the “wrong thing” and that I need to research, to listen and to learn. This is very different than what my daughter experienced. I don’t have the knowledge and the tools and “google just ain’t gonna cut it.” I want to communicate in a way that is supportive and loving. This podcast, Shaley’s IG, and a few others I’ve discovered, have been eye-opening, heart opening and are extremely important and helpful as I walk this path as a loved one of someone struggling. I learned more from this podcast than I do from reading any clinical book on the subject. It provides me with the human side, the lived experience of incredible people who are doing it, a day at a time. It is both hopeful and very very real. Thank you Shaley.”

“I stopped listening after the host started stating her pronouns like we didn’t already know she was a her. She also has her guests do the same. It’s just so cringe that I can’t listen to anything else she says and take her seriously.”

“Recently as a young 20 year old female going through the many phases of life. This podcast is really helping me further my realization that I need a diagnosis. Sometimes you ladies say things that just make me burst into tears because I didn’t realize so many others could feel exactly as I felt....”Read full review »
