Connection is definitely key. I have schizoaffective and have thought about starting a kind of peer support and workout buddy program that focuses on improving mental health through physical fitness, combining what I think are 2 of the most powerful life-enhancing tools - exercise and connection. Glad I found your Substack!
Connor, so glad you found us! I totally agree with you on the importance of both connection and physical activity in living in recovery with a mental illness; those have been critical factors for my son as well, who is now a dedicated gym rat. Thanks for joining the conversation and please check in regularly.
Tim, what a great story! You are an inspiration to so many people! I’ve known you since you and Tyler were those preemies in the hospital. It was a scary time for your family. We all prayed a lot and our prayers were answered. Your mom and I have been friends for 40 years and I have had the privilege of watching you and your brothers grow up. You have had your struggles throughout your life and that has helped you become the incredible young man that you are today. I am so very proud of you and proud of the way you help those in need everyday! God Bless You!
