DOPEamine

Today I wanted to talk about this concept of being starstruck by other people. Particularly looking up to famous people and assuming that they're instantly better than you, you'll never be that and letting it affect your self-esteem in a major way. In reality, we are all on different paths with different goals and different starting lines. So comparison is illogical and useless. The same goes for anyone who it good. Who is doing well in life. It's not an excuse to project that you're better than anyone or to let yourself get too comfortable and forget that you still have a long life to live. So, there's a lot to break down here on today's episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about The Call of the Void. This is a concept that many us has experienced. We stand close to the of a build or a cliff, perfectly safe with no intention to jump but we get this startling realization that if we don't actively tell ourselves not to jump that we may have actually jumped. This isn't exclusive to heights, many have experienced this sensation of wanting to jump in front of a train or ram your car into the side of the road or even run someone over. This, as far as we know, isn't exclusive to mental illness. So, we ask some tough questions about humanity in this episode and the subconscious questions that we ask ourselves every day and how the call of the void may be an active moment in that process. Let's go for it on today's episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking about what I've been going through the last week. I've been dealing with a lot of intense stress around money but have also completely given into being too preoccupied with other people's emotions. As an INTP, that is not a playing field I succeed in. If anything, it leads me down a path of absurd thinking that essentially leads to devalue emotions. Mostly because emotions just don't work well for me in the long run. So, as an INTP, I need to acknowledge that my inferior trait Fe (Extroverted Feeling) should not be running the show. So, let's instead get logical today on this episode of DOPEamine!

Today we're talking about normalizing mental illness from 2 different angles. We start by talking about teenagers normalizing it as social leverage and the remainder of society using some mental illness terminology to boost their every day emotions for emphasis. We're going to talk more about the latter in an upcoming episode. For now, hold on to your seat because I get a little heated in this episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're talking being at the edge of destruction. I feel like some of my episodes lately haven't about me and what I'm going through, so I figured today was the perfect opportunity to work through those feelings. It's not always easy for me to exhibit emotional expression, it's a challenge and it's difficult to continue to feel like I have the room to express what I need to express. So, I created this show for that reason and am going to use it for that reason. I talk a bit about suicidal ideation, troubles with my past, relationships, workplace frustrations, feeling like a burden and all of the learning I've been doing to try and better understand what I need to do. So, this episode gets pretty heavy, as a warning, but it's reality. It's where I am (a week ago when I recorded it). It's what I'm going through, it's honest and I don't think there's enough "content" out there exhibiting and showing that. So, here it goes. Thanks for being here.

Today on the show we're talking about Making Fun of People. Humans be humans and we all have a story. Some of us are caught in a vulnerable state, turned into memes or viral videos. Some of us don't want that. Some people are simply trying to live their lives to the best of their ability. I've been guilty of taking photos of some "weird" person in the past and posting it with the hopes of making myself subconsciously feel better or elitist about my position in life. It's not cool. If you've done this or enjoy this, this episode of DOPEamine might sting a little.

Today on the show we're talking about external validation. Why do we seek it? Most of us are working on ways to not give a crap about what people think but we are social creatures and sometimes need a little extra love when we've depleted our reserves for being able to provide that for ourselves. We also need to be better at asking for help as mental illness sufferers.

Today on the show we're talking about the concept of knowing nothing. As we get older, past our teenage years and into our 30s we can't help this feeling of knowing nothing. We are exposed to new ideas, new people, new environments all the time and simply feel as though there is no way we could know everything or anything. It can become a little absurd. But where some people see difficulty or insignificance, I see opportunity. The chance to embrace your curiosity, ask questions and experience new things. Some of us feel a natural pull and some need a push. I'm here to give you that push here on this episode of DOPEamine!

Today on the show we're going to talk about the concept of manifesting success. What does it mean to manifest something in your life? To visualize a goal and achieve? Can there be an unhealthy version of that? We ask that questions and play with this idea of "The Progress Wheel" as a means to know if you're working towards something or simply being entitled to an affirmation you're giving yourself. I'm starting on this concept today, so bare with me on this episode of DOPEamine!
