E29 - Dating Someone With a Mental Illness

In this episode of the Break The Psycle Podcast, we dive deep into what it really means to love someone living with a mental illness, whether it's depression, schizophrenia, or something else that reshapes day-to-day life. We explore the emotional tightrope of supporting a loved one: walking the line between tough love and walking on eggshells, showing up without overstepping, and the quiet toll it can take on your own mental health and identity.

We also talk about what it looks like to adapt to a partner’s needs and how love can mean shifting routines, expectations, and even who you are, without losing yourself in the process.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt the weight of caring deeply while wondering how much is too much, or not enough.
