I don't have the same level of mental health issues that you have to manage, Lauren. However, I've had a similar career experience. Setting aside my own (numerous) failings, it seems like the job market is set up to push mental stress to the highest level that the 'ordinary' person can cope with, and the rest of us just have to suck it up.

Lauren, Could you think about discussing a topic around parents of seriously mentally ill people? There's so much grief, frustration, and helplessness. When I talk to a homeless person who appears to be symptomatic, I often ask, "Where's your mom? your family? " because I project that this individual could very possibly be my own child - living so miserably on the street. And I might not know how to find him. And in our own situation, we came close to such a situation - absolutely frightening.

This was a very good topic. Relevant to my own son's experience. Your videos help us family members GAIN INSIGHT into so much about these serious illnesses!

I would also blowup at work because I didn’t have proper mental health support. I’ve often thought that I just couldn’t handle work.

OMG. How did you know to post this today? I just resigned me job this morning due to the toll it was taking on my mental health. Although this is the first time this has happened to me, I’ve been struggling so much with feeling like a failure and incapable of succeeding in the future. Then, YouTube suggested this new video to me somehow because I needed it.
Thank you.
