I lay out my story as it unfolded over the past year and some change. You get some raw me as far as emotions go. I'm feeling good! I'm not numb. The emotions have come back, kinda in my face, as far as intensity and control at times. I give you every bit of me. The good, yeah there is good! The bad, I sunk low at times. Did I mention the good? It f…

Where have I been? Number one, I'm OK. Number two, break time is over. This podcast started off as a video and this is the audio to the video. It wasn't meant to be a podcast episode, but I couldn't help myself hence the fact this is Episode 0. I'm here! I'm also excited for the rest of this year and 2024. I plan on taking Mental Health Awareness t…

Mental Health and Mental Illness. We must talk about both. Society's view of mental health and the ability to ask for help needs a serious overall. We do it by talking. The more we talk the more chances we have of it becoming an accepted topic. It Is OK To Not Be OK. It Is OK To Need Help. It Is OK To Ask For Help. These phrases need to be repeated…

It has been a while since we talked! It's been a crazy winter. Not the best on record for yours truly. And then the winds start to blow again. We decide it's time to make some changes. No matter how we feel about the effort, sometimes we have to follow the wind. For me right now, those winds are the winds of medication changes and they are blowing!…

We are stronger together! The ways I was using, before I asked for help, were no longer working for me. I was trying to do everything myself and this method was no longer benefitting me. I realized I needed help. I made the huge step of reaching out of myself and asking for help from others around me. We need to come together. So much division exis…

I felt this episode was necessary after the events which led to Simone Biles, U.S. gymnast, withdrawing from the competition due to her mental health. Admitting that you are not OK is not easy. She was able to admit she was not OK and that her mind was not allowing her to focus the way she needed too to safely continue competing in the event, and s…

Two years ago I was in a hole. A dark hole. The darkness had long consumed me and I was overlooking a cliff. Thankfully, I decided to ask for help. I decided to Choose Life! Today, I celebrate. I would love nothing more than to celebrate with you. It Is OK To Not Be OK. Ask for help. Begin the transition to a life that you can be happy seeing yours…

We experience different occurrences in our lives. Some good and some bad. We need to allow ourselves to step back and evaluate what has occurred and evaluate how it fits into our lives and our mental health. We gain and can even alter our perspective of our plan for better mental health. Also, some of these occurrences happen for a reason. Have you…

Yes, the title basically describes a lot of this episode and I never claim to have all the answers. My wife and I, along with our dog Ben, set off for the coast of North Carolina for a much needed get away. I describe how it felt to be away from home, my comfort zone, for a week and everything that ensued. I also come clean about stopping one of my…

We have been talking about some of the changes that go on after asking for help. We have gone through and/or are going through a lot. With as many changes as we are working on to strengthen our mental health, thankfully not everything has to change. We have a lot of good things about us as well. We seem to push these to the back of the room as we w…

We have to fight! Our mental health deserves it. You deserve it. I deserve it. We need to be active in improving and strengthening our mental health. No longer can we be passive. We have to admit we are not OK when we are not OK and prepare ourselves to fight for the life we want to live. We have to fight to become and be the person we see ourselve…

We are plugging right along. Our mental health is strengthening. We are on the road to recovery from our mental illness and then WHAM...something happens and we fall backwards. Sometimes so far backwards we may fall back into a dark hole. Thankfully, we don't just get one chance at improving ourselves and our mental health. We get unlimited chances…

The stigma surrounding mental health has to improve. It really needs to just go away, really. We need to do what we can to bust down this stigma. We can tell our story or we can tell a story through other creative ways. Mostly we can listen to someone who needs to talk. We also can share our story with them in order for them to see they are not alo…

Our mind loves to bring us down. Some of these attacks can lead us to think less of ourselves. Self-esteem can drop along with self image. We can become afraid to let people see the real us. So we put on an act. I fell fault in trying to blend into the crowd I would be around. I also resorted to alcohol to deal with the ongoing battle inside me. An…

We feel different emotions depending on the situation. A lot of the times, we display the proper emotion at the proper time. When feeling depressed and/or anxious we may display a different emotion than what the situation calls for. Sometimes display no emotion at all. We can become mentally exhausted from battling our minds. We may then show diffe…

Getting to the point were you can allow yourself to ask for help when you need it is incredibly difficult. Especially when you feel hopeless and you feel you have nowhere else to go except for going down the road of thinking about ending your life as the only way out. Our mind likes to tell us either we don't need help, keep doing things the way yo…

Throughout our mental health journey, we seem to focus so much on the down moments of our lives. The more negative aspects. Where does the times we feel good fit into this journey? Do we give the good as much "air time" as we give the bad moments. Let's talk about the good more when we are feeling good and see what happens. I hope you enjoy!…

There are walls built up around mental health. There is a stigma that has surrounded mental health and mental illness. We are not supposed to talk about how we feel mentally. We are programmed to suck it up. It has begun to get better and some of the stigma has lessened, but the walls need to be torn down. We have to be able to talk about our menta…

Patience is required when undergoing treatment for your mental health. Some aspects of treatment can move quickly, but most of it takes time. It's easy to get frustrated through this time. We need to remember to be patient through the process. Also, we need to step back and acknowledge how far we have come through our journey. Guns N Roses said it …

In this episode, I go into what I felt like when I got out of the hospital. The super high and the fall back to earth. The Honeymoon Phase, as I call it, to feeling normal again which felt like a huge drop compared to the Honeymoon Phase energy I felt after I got out of the hospital. I hope you enjoy!…

Today, I lay out my story. What led me to seek out help for depression and anxiety. What led me to stop doing it on my own. My story isn't the same as yours and your story isn't the same as mine, mine is no better or worse, but this is the story I know. I feel that by throwing my story out there, we can then get to other aspects, down the road, tha…

I am about mental health awareness. I am not a professional in the space, but more of a client. The Basement of Jams came about as an idea I had for a Facebook Group (Feel free to join-it goes by the same name). I wanted it to be a place that was similar to when musicians get together and jam. They each bring their individual talents and instrument…
