One of my favorite things to do on SelfWork is to respond to your questions! The first is a reaction to a recent podcast from 19 year-old podcaster Sadie Sutton who was explaining her journey with depression and her parents\u2019 role in it. This listener wanted to know if I was following up with an interview with her parents \u2013 a great question actually. But no, that\u2019s not the plan. But I wanted to respond to some of her thoughts as that episode touched a sensitive and vulnerable place in her heart \u2013 and maybe it did yours as well.

The second email is from someone whose partner has been diagnosed as BPD/bipolar and is looking for some support for herself. And the third from a listener who\u2019s turned to his family for affirmation \u2013 and keeps getting ignored or even criticized for it. His question \u2013 how do I become my own cheerleader?
