Our striving for achievement keeps us functioning most of the time but we've all experienced times when we've approached meltdowns. In this episode, we talk about our breaking points that led us to therapy, the stigma of meds, and the critical role our partners play in our well-being. We share ways we get unstuck, fears of how our kids will perceive our low periods, and ways to befriend the inner critic when it all seems too much. We may never *not* feel overwhelmed and anxious, but we have come up with small steps that help get us moving again.
We reference a lot of books and other tools that we've found helpful - we've provided more details here: https://modelminoritymoms.com/season-2-episode-3-mental-health-im-fine-until-im-not-fine/
