Show Notes
Look, I know that I may not have a dog in this political race, so to speak. I don't want this to become something other than a platform about mental illness....But it is clear that the USA is suffering....so here comes my big mouth. :PLEASE: don NOT mistake what I say in this to condoning any rioting or criminal activity. I am NOT affiliated with any group, I don't even have a political party that I support. I have no agenda other than observing people and trying to make sense of it..... The news media has indeed fucked itself. Social platforms are a nightmare and a breeding ground to induce stress by wasting your time, insulting your intelligence, and moreover keeping you consuming and distracted. I will do my best not to waste your time with this 10 minutes of my pondering people as individuals and the chaos of falling into a group.
Antifa can get fucked. No one is listening to you. Your message is lost in violence and destruction The owners of BLM ought to give the brand back to the cause and absolve any further political pollution Proud Boys need to go fuck themselves. You're a joke that went too far and has no E-break Trump supporters should think for themselves. Maybe a Man Child that shits McDonald's into a gold toilet just doesn't have any empathy for the American with two jobs and a burden....? Cancel Culture should not be renewed for a next season due to contradicting the constitution Now enjoy the show
More from fuck you depression
After taking a two year hiatus without even realizing it I am back to dust off some cobwebs and share why it took me so long to get this act together. Listen as I clumsily disclose having two short stays in separate Psychiatric Hospitals and what lead to my decision to go and the many difficult maneuvers it took just to get there. You will hear a brief elucidation on what can be expected at the local Mental Health ward, indicators that it might be time for a check in, and the discharge process. You will also hear me mistake what an oxygen mask is called.
More bogus shit from the Captain? not quite. Listen as I go through the process of getting back on medication after nearly 20yrs of disdain. You will be regaled with stories exposing the raw observations of medication misuse, attacking head meds with an open mind. I will illustrate my experience with the side effects and the impact on my work. You can listen for suggested approaches to exploring medication as an optional treatment. *this podcast is for entertainment purposes only. I am not a doctor, I am barely a professional. if you are in need of help please skip to the last five minutes of this episode where you can find some options for tried and true professional assistance out there. Please enjoy this for what it is, a candid monologue of a man trying to repair himself and make sense of the past in order to appreciate the future!
Getting into the endless corners and trapdoors of mental health medication, including sedatives, SSRI's, stimulants and anticonvulsants....if you or someone you know is interested in exploring medication but is uncertain, why not have a listen to someone who is still a bit uncertain. I speak openly about the effects and side-effects (positive and negative), reasons I gave up, as well as reasons I decided to give it another try with honest effort. I also talk about getting high at work, not listening, interrupting people, misinterpreting social cues, being a maniac, being productive, being a better partner, and forgetting what I was talking about.
Peer into the inner workings of anger control, breathing, obvious clichés, what NOT to do, how NOT to take or give advice, the relaxing and mind-altering state of painting, the return of the event boundary, and other mechanisms for living with depression/anxiety/hate.
