Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ? · Meg LeDuc: Journey Through Serious Mental Illness:Living Beyond the Diagnosis · 26 Jun 2026 podcast

I've earned a master's.

I've gotten married.

My life has not stood still.

So to get back to your question, yeah, this inner drive also means it's very hard to rest and it's very hard to come to a sense of peace.

Let me think about that.

That's a good question.

I think over the years, it's been so hard to come to terms with it.

And I've definitely wanted to present a facade.

I remember when I first went into counseling services at the University of Michigan, the social workers said, you smile even when you're saying something sad.

I was trying to pretend everything was okay.

And I think as I've grown older, I've stopped doing that with key people.

I definitely don't do that with my husband.

I no longer do it with my parents, my best friend.

And there was a point where I was even lying to my therapist, like trying to make her think everything was good when it wasn't.

But I've discovered how vital it is to be honest with your mental health practitioners.

Definitely.

Though my husband was so wonderful.

Maybe about six months after we met, my current diagnosis at that time was bipolar one.

So he asked me if he could come to a therapist appointment with me, with my therapist, to ask questions about how he could better support me.

I can't remember exactly when in the relationship that was, but it was actually early.
