Question about tagging our ‘Stacks - do you guys offer a “mental health” category? On your roadmap a while back I did not see mental health as an option and my Substack is all about PTSD and mental health awareness, normalization, and support. PS- thanks for the amazing audio updates and features!

Thanks for writing your newsletter, Adrian. I'm married to a combat veteran with PTSD -- we've been dealing with it for 18 years, which just blows my mind -- and it's rare to come across anything that's so honest (and that helps me stay empathetic, even after such a long time spent learning, working toward understanding, figuring out how this shows up in our marriage and co-parenting, the list goes on). Just want to say that I appreciate your effort.

Sarah, thank you for being willing to openly share your struggles with PTSD. My wife has been my caretaker for years and I believe you caretakers get the short end of the stick when it comes to complex trauma and PTSD. You’ve inspired me to do an issues (or potentially a series) on being the caretaker or loved one of someone struggling with this monster. YOU are not alone, though I imagine sometimes it can feel quite isolating and lonely. Thank you for your comment, your engagement, your love for your husband.

I can’t wait to read that post/series. Very few people in my life know, much less truly understand, what it has been like all these years. I think you’d be speaking to something rarely acknowledged, much less honestly addressed.

SUBSCRIBING IMMEDIATELY. Thank you so much for saying this, mental health definitely needs it’s own category on here.

Thank you Adrian!
