#181: The Path to Mental Health with T1D is Never Straight

You are going to have setbacks in your mental health journey with T1D. As much as I wish that you won’t, the path to emotional health is never a straight line. Expect there to be bumps along the road.

The issue isn’t experiencing setbacks; it’s about being prepared for them and recognizing the progress you’ve made when facing setbacks.

In reality, the path to emotional health with T1D is a lifelong journey; it’s not a destination.

Setbacks in your mental health with T1D are an important part of your growth. If you don’t experience setbacks, you will never be able to move beyond where you are right now.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of being prepared for (and even expecting) setbacks in your mental health journey with type 1 diabetes. You’ll see how your approach to the setback can either be a launching pad for success or a recipe for failure, and it all depends on your mindset.
