Acceptable Madness

As I reflect on monumental changes in my life, such as going to and then graduating college and changing jobs more times than I’d like to admit, it’s easy to lose track of who matters to you. The people that you see everyday change, and maintaining contact is easy to forget, so how can you connect with those that you no longer see? That’s what I talk about this week (and will continue trying to figure out for the rest of my life.)

Saying no is hard, especially when the consequence of you saying that short word can negatively impact others, but it’s an important lesson to learn. Not only are there people in the world that will capitalize on your kindness, but there are some things in the world that are meant to take advantage of those that are willing to give 110%. In this episode, I talk about how saying no can take the stress off of your shoulders, and how it doesn’t need to be internalized.

Technology is great… until it’s not. It’s been such a helpful and amazing tool, opening the world to communication that’s never been seen before. The only downside is that, along with all of the good, it also does an impeccable job at making people feel worse about themselves. Let’s talk about how it does that and how I try to fight it’s negative influences.

Finding a reason to keep pushing forward in life isn’t always easy. Things are hard, people can be hard to deal with, and the weight of all of that on your shoulders can feel like too much. That’s why this week, I talk about finding a reason to exist in everyday life, even when twists and turns of all shapes and sizes will happen to you until the end of time.

This is the worst episode title of all time. Whatever. What’s done is done. Don’t hate me.

When I was younger, I dismissed basically everyone with differing views from me. I didn’t give people the time of day, and when one of the people that I did grow close to said or did something that I didn’t agree with, I cut ties with them and moved on. Since I’ve been able to start making more meaningful relationships and see the world from many different perspectives, my connections with people are closer, and the world has become a kinder, more welcoming place. In this episode, I talk about the transformation, how it happened and how it’s affected me going forward.

Oh boy, one episode away from 50. That doesn’t really mean much to me, but I guess it’s something. In this almost impressive milestone of an episode, I talk through a few examples of me not being able to help people struggle through their issues because I was too busy with my own, and how I struggle to not blame myself for it everyday.

In this episode, I talk about how finding something to look forward to after a long day can be all you need to turn dread into something hopeful. Who knows, maybe if you can find some excitement in the day, you might even be happy for a little while.

This week, I had the pleasure of talking to Eric Zimmer, host of the podcast “The One You Feed.” We talked about his experience with addiction, addiction in general and then the conversation evolved into a nice talk about life, why we do what we do and how we can help people. Eric is a really cool guy, and if you want to hear more from him, please listen to his podcast.

Do you want the bad news or the good news first? Well, the bad news is that I really don’t see an end to depression. The good news is that I don’t think that’s necessarily bad news. Discovering purpose and figuring out what makes you feel the way that you do could help you combat it, and ultimately fend off all of those pesky suicidal thoughts that you’ve been dealing with.

Sleep is one of the few constants that can help you out when you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts. It will give you energy to handle the world, make you less irritable, and even help you from getting sick. In this episode, I talk about how I’ve been struggling to get sleep and the ways that I’ve been trying to make up for it.
