Today on the show we're talking about getting out of your head. When we're dealing with mental illness or any stress we tend to ruminate on what's going on and frankly, we won't learn anything new that way most of the time. So, it's important for us to find ways to get out of our own head. That doesn't mean ignoring your problems but finding a friend to connect with, go see the barista down the street, ask someone how they're doing, engage in small talk, play a fun game with people or something simple that gets you to engage with something other than yourself. Chances are you can gain some new information to take with you when you re-enter your own head-space.

Today on the show we're talking all about evil. What does "Evil" even mean? Is it something within us all? Are we doomed to commit evil acts or is it all a matter of perception? We talk about different religions' take on evil as well as a philosophical approach. Also, a special appearance from your friendly neighborhood Gollum today on DOPEamine!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Today on the show we're talking all about Complex PTSD. I've been in the rebuilding phase of my last over the past year and that is all associated with C-PTSD traumas that I've been fighting on two fronts. The past associated with my parents and the more recent past associated with my marriage and emotional abuse. I remind you of what C-PTSD is and then share my story, where I am now and how understanding the details of what is occurring helps me to retain some optimism for the future.

Today on the show we're talking about the notion of getting what you put out into the world. Not that you should do so with expectation but that if you're putting out bad vibes, surrounding yourself with toxic people or simply anyone who doesn't align with your life path then they have no reason for being there. It can be difficult to sever these attachments but it can be pivotal for our personal growth. I also talk about my personal growth this week, asking for my help, my ideology development and the challenges I face emotionally about not seeing my son. All of it is a massive challenge that I think is worth undertaking in this week's episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about asking for help. It started out as a conversation with myself about the current desperation that I'm feeling but quickly translated into a realization that I've had a terrible time with asking for help. My mental health is not in the best place so it's a bit of a somber episode. I'm having trouble knowing what to do with my current issues, so thank you for your patience and continuing to be a loyal listener of DOPEamine.

Today on the show we're talking about avoiding conflict, addressing my personal fears and my own personal accountability. I need to do more and I know I need to do more. This lifestyle I've been cultivating is a largely a fantasy that isn't matching up to reality and for the things that are actually working to not come crashing down, I need to man-up and own that I need to work smarter and harder to achieve what I want to achieve. It's going to take a little more work. Less excuses that I've been blocking myself from acknowledging and continuing to hold my self ACTUALLY accountability. I get real vulnerable on this episode in a way that I haven't done in quite some time. I'm hoping this episode is a turning point. I think it's important for me and important for this show so please join me on today's very special episode of DOPEamine.

Today on the show we're talking about Obsession. I've been thinking about it because I'm re-approaching mania and that, for me, is one of the symptoms that comes to light. I become obsessed with other people being accurate in their assertions that I become combative with those around me. I certainly like a good debate and I have no qualms about correcting someone but when I become obsessed it hurts, it takes me times and ultimately it's a distracted from real emotional issues that I have to deal with. So, I break a lot of that down as I also start to break down on this episode of DOPEamine.

Today on the show we're talking all about ideology. We very much get caught up in the big picture of what we think is happening, might happen or want to happen. It's another way of both tempering expectations but also taking stock in what you can actually control. How can you actually make those big dreams a reality instead of letting them sit in the clouds all the time? What can we do to bring them to life? Just a warning of sensitivity that this episode will be addressing religion, politics, relationships and career advice in regards to questioning our ideology. The overall tone is a bit aggressive as well. Still with me? Great! Then let's do this on today's episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show I wanted the recount the story of my trip across the country 1 year ago. It was around this time in 2017 in which I had just left my previous marriage, left San Diego, left my job and started a new life. It was a scary journey and a risky decision to leave. I talk all about what I learned on that solo drive, the mental difficulties and whether or not I'd do it again. There are great lessons here about soaking it all in, documenting your experience, experiencing life with people you care about, meeting new people and the power of having to sit in silence. Join me on this road trip edition of DOPEamine!
