DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You are in a relationship with someone who struggles with substance use disorder or has a mental health diagnosis
-
You believe that if your loved one would āchangeā everyone could be happy again
-
The guilt weighs on you as you sometimes wonder what life would be like if your loved one acknowledged the pain they're inflicting
-
You fear your loved one will never "change" and embrace a healthy lifestyle again
-
You fear your loved one will harm themselves or others, end up homeless, in jail or in a mental hospital
-
You fear that people you know will find out that you have someone in your life who struggles with their mental health and that you will be judged or lose people you want in your life
-
You are overwhelmed, confused and uncertain of what direction to go next
Hi, Iām Jo!
I am both the person who has loved multiple people with different mental illness diagnosis as well as the loved one with a diagnosis myself. My unique understanding of both perspectives gives me the ability to relate to the community I serve because I have felt firsthand the anger, confusion and shame about my feelings towards those in my life who I felt were impossible to deal with, yet I have also been that person who has brought those same feelings to people who have loved me and have tried to support me. It has become my mission to be an advocate for those suffering in a relationship with someone with a mental illness diagnosis, empowering them to see that a life of peace, love and joy is absolutely possible, even in the midst of the relationship.
