[View this email in your browser]( Meet Our Editor's Secret Weapon for Navigating Relationships [overthinking about you book with flowers]( By Ashley Selleke, Branded Content Editor Let me set the scene for you: It's 2016. After four years of dating who I thought was my forever person, I experienced heartbreak for the first time. Cut to scenes of me crying over chicken nuggets, watching The Office on repeat in an effort to escape my reality, checking to see if he watched my story mere minutes after posting. Times were rough and, on top of mending a broken heart, I was dealing with pretty severe anxiety and depression that reared their heads as soon as I found myself vulnerable. Dating and maintaining relationships is a challenge on a good day but, if you have mental illness, it can feel near impossible. So if there's one gift I wish I could go back in time and give myself while I was sobbing during my fifth watch of Michael Scott's Rabies Fun Run, I would have slipped her the self-help meets memoir book [Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD, and/or Depression]( by Allison Raskin.
