Episode #73 - Thriving with Mental Illness with Mequell Buck

Before her suicide attempt, Mequell Buck had always been a high achiever. Like so many other women, she juggled work, taking care of her kids, and being a wife, all of it trying to maintain the highest levels of perfection possible. But her life changed drastically when she woke up in the hospital and realized what had happened. From that day on, she knew then that her priorities had to be reset and her future could not be focused on results and achievement anymore. Mequell learned to respect her own limitations, how to say “no,” the importance of managing expectations, and how to connect with her needs. Such a change had an impact on the whole family dynamics because everyone had to adapt. In this interview, she talks about the process of rebuilding their lives as a unit, and how this transition strengthened their relationships. Next week, her husband Adam will talk to us about his experience through her suicide attempt and mental illness.
