Hi my good bad brain friends. We have officially made it to year 2 of this thing. I thought I'd kick off with a brain breather. For topics, I asked on my instagram for some ideas of stuff people might want to hear about and i got a lot of terrific responses. I ran with a few that jumped out at me, for some reason or another, and they're basically just the topics there in the title.
I'm excited to see what else happens in this new year, I'm glad to be back to the pod, thank you for being here with me. I hope you get somethin' useful out of today's show. Self care, hydrate. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

emotional flooding, feeling like a burden, depersonalization, and medication changes

A podcast about getting through life with a differently shaped brain. My Good Bad Brain aims to build a space of solidarity and validation for the neurodiverse. We do this with honest explorations of life with mental health challenges, especially depression, anxiety, ADHD, and the general existential dread of being alive today. Soomehow, from this, a sense of invisible connection, community, and possibility arises.
If you're thinking about killing yourself: do not.

It's just gotta be. For a while, indefinitely, maybe not ever, what's ever? IDK. Go ahead and listen and I talk through it. I also talk through some stuff around doomscroling and mental health in the main body of the pod but... yeah. It's time for this to rest a while. I love you all.  Self care.  Hydrate.  Be well.

my last good bad brain

Someone wrote a note asking about some severe heartbreak, they had heard the fuck breakups episode, and I jumped off of that. I kind of didn't address what they were talking about I realized after so I will return to that but hopefully there's stuff in here that resonates with you. come along and hang out with me and my good bad brain for a pretty lengthy chunky brain breather.

hi i am crazy but also fine but also crazy and extremely anxious

We devoted this episode entirely to one listener's question about what lies after severe trauma. The listener was sexually abused by their father though most of their family has not acknowledged this. Recently their father died and the listener expressed they'd always felt the feelings of trauma would go away with him, but they have not. This is a heavy but very useful episode, we are very fortunate to have Dr. Nick Barr with his extensive experience as a traumatologist to speak to. I just want to say how much I deeply appreciate the listeners of this show who share their difficult experiences with everyone. It is very generous to share these stories so that others might also learn and heal from them. I hope you find something useful in this episode. Self-care, hydrate, be well.
