Resumen del Editor

Dating is hard. But pursuing love and relationships when you live with mental illness can be even more overwhelming.

Allison Raskin knows this challenge firsthand and shares her journey with perfect candor. She’s learned from her experiences, and we get to learn from her, discovering new ways to form healthy dating and relationship habits. How do you talk to a partner about your mental health? What is the potential impact of SSRIs on your body? What is the difference between having valid concerns and catastrophizing? It’s all here, from meeting online to how to handle a breakup, from recognizing and avoiding unhealthy relationships to the big one—sex.

Woven in throughout are interviews with clinical psychologists, a psychiatrist, a sexologist, relationship experts, and real-life couples for their points of view and professional guidance. All to help you walk away from this book feeling less alone in the struggle and better prepared to tackle dating and relationships with more confidence and less worry.

It’s a transformative book, with insights at every moment and an inspiring message of optimism and hope.

This book is going to save relationships!”—Kelsey Darragh, author of Don’​t F*cking Panic: The Shit They Don’t Tell You in Therapy About Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks, and Depression

“A warm and thoughtful guide to an under-discussed topic.”—Mara Wilson, writer and actor

Great listen!

This was a really good listen. Very insightful and funny. I cried within the first few pages because it really resonated with me. I have a lot of anxiety in relationships and it’s affecting my current relationship. Definitely going to listen again!

What I Needed

It's exactly what I needed. Thank you Alison for a wonderful book and advice!

I couldn't get past her wokeness

I thought the Book had some good information but it was just hard to take the author serious because she's so woke
