Ellie helps us finish the Friendship Series with Part 3! Here, we explore 3 qualities people with mental illnesses & mood disorders should demonstrate in friendships. These qualities are essential to finding and keeping friends. This podcast also helps people without mental illnesses better understand how to support their friends because it outlines the relationship obstacles people with mental illness face AND the qualities of people with mental illnesses that actually make them great friends! Through a story from Ellie's life, we will learn how to harness painful experiences into a force for good and help others. (And, yes of course, we're gonna close out the series with the iconic Friends theme song, The Rembrandts' I'll Be There For You!) Food for Thought/Suggestions for Comments: Do you agree with the 3 qualities we listed for being a good friend? Do you have a secret to successfully maintaing relationships despite mental illness? Did you learn anything surprising or new in the podcast?
