GOING MENTAL was born out of host Eileen Kelly’s desire to reckon with the shame she felt around her mental health journey. Despite early career success, internal struggles and a crippling personality disorder drove Eileen to leave her exciting New York City life behind and seek treatment at McLean — one of the oldest mental hospitals in the country. After five months and some serious self-discovery, she returned to the outside world looking for a way to disseminate what she'd learned in treatment and connect to others with similar experiences.
Each week, along with personal stories from Eileen, she interviews some of today’s most compelling media figures, artists, authors, and celebrities about their own mental health journeys, along with a range of experts who provide information and support around various mental conditions.
New episodes releasing every Thursday.
On today's solo episode, Eileen shares her journey of rekindling a relationship with her ex-boyfriend while navigating the challenges of a personality disorder. She offers insights into reconciliation with an ex and how they've successfully made it work. Additionally, she discusses her upcoming business launch and relocation to LA, reflecting on the anxieties that come with these exciting changes.
