*Content warning* Mental health and relationships are hard to navigate sometimes. After a conversation over wine with a friend about mental health and how our partners support us, we took to Instagram to ask people how they approached the conversation with their S.O. When do we talk about mental illness with someone we're dating? We aren't totally sure, but we want to start the conversation and contribute to ending the stigma surrounding mental health. We tread lightly in this episode with respect to those who shared their stories with us and want to stress that we do NOT give advice in this episode. We share our own stories and what we would do surrounding our own mental health, discuss some research, and share the brave responses people sent us about how they dealt with it to show you, you aren't alone. We hope you enjoy this bonus episode, we'll see you next Tuesday.
