Mental illness doesn't just destroy your todays, doesn't just destroy your tomorrows. It also destroys your memories, your past.
It's something that a lot of people don't understand or comprehend when they're dealing with their trauma. You have to identify that:
mental illness that is lying to you about your todays, saying you don't have a today, you only have pain.
Mental illness is lying to you about your future. You don't have a future. All you have is pain.
Mental illness also distorts your past.
If this episode had a theme song - it's this one by ICON FOR HIRE. The song is 'Only a memory' and it's a powerful reminder that our yesterdays are not who we are. We decide what our future will be. Only A Memory

Driving around Canberra the last couple of weeks, I've been really impressed with how many stickers I've seen in the back of utes and trucks and stuff saying 'IT'S NOT WEAK TO SPEAK'.
I'm so pleased that I'm starting to see this around and i want to dive in because I just want to give you my two cents worth on why I believe that speaking about your pain, about your hurt, about your depression, about your anxiety is one of the bravest things that you can do.
And I want to pull that apart today.

Falling down... failing... backsliding... whatever you want to call it does not make you weak.
Falling down is a natural part of the learning process.
So, it is with mental illness. The journey is not going to be in a neat line. There will be downs. There will be falls.
but this does not make you weak. You ARE only weak if you DON'T get back up.
Look how far you've come. You have fallen but you are still going.
THIS IS A VICTORY! it may not feel like it, but it is.

You know, when you talk to people about mental health, you’ll hear all kinds of takes about psychologists. Some folks absolutely swear by therapy and counselling, while others are more hesitant or even sceptical, maybe because of a bad experience or just different beliefs. It’s only natural—everyone’s got their own story and background that shape how they see mental health support.
Let me share where I’m coming from. I hear people say psychologists get it wrong, that they misdiagnose, or just don’t get what you’re going through. I really do get those concerns. But at the end of the day, what matters to me is what actually works—the real-life evidence, you know?
From my own experience, going to see a psychologist was the best step I could have taken. Honestly, I owe so much to two incredible psychologists who helped me turn things around. Without them, I’m not sure where I’d be today.
Funny enough, the people who helped me in the end weren’t the ones I was sent to first. When I got injured, I got referred to psychologists who’d spent decades working with veterans. Because my case was labelled PTSD, I guess they figured I’d fit right in. But since I wasn’t a veteran, it just didn’t click—they didn’t really relate to what I was dealing with. That experience taught me something important: finding the right mental health professional, someone who really gets you, makes all the difference.

The Continuing Impact of Suicide
The sad thing that I didn't understand when I attempted to take my life a number of years ago was that it wasn't going to end the pain. Sure, it would end my pain, and nobody knows what's next, so, for all intents and purposes, for somebody living with suicidal ideation, with the idea that they need a way out... ALL THEY REALLY WANT IS THE PAIN TO STOP.
They just need it to stop. And their minds are telling them that the only way that they can logically stop the pain is by ending our lives.
What do I mean by the pain doesn't die? I have a mate that took his life a few years ago. And the thing that I've always known about my mate is he was more compassionate than me. He was more caring than me. He was kinder than me.
It wasn't a competition, but he just was. He was one of those extraordinary people that just exudes care for the people around him.
If he knew how much pain his death has caused, continues to cause, I would bet anything that he would take it back.
Let's dive in and discuss this today.

Turning pain into purpose is a powerful idea. Many who struggle with mental health feel that difficult times are wasted, but these experiences can be given meaning.
Finding purpose is more than just finding reasons to keep going—it's about discovering what makes life meaningful again.
This journey is important for both those living with mental illness and those who care for them. Everyone can help bring hope and meaning back into life.
Let’s explore how pain can be transformed and what purpose can look like for each person.

The Endless Treadmill: Coping with the Cycle of Failure
Life with mental illness can often feel like a never-ending treadmill—a constant journey of perceived failure. Every time you turn around, it feels as though you’ve failed at something else. This sense of failure doesn’t always arise from specific events; sometimes it’s simply the feeling of not being healthy or “normal.”
On today’s podcast, we’re discussing this experience. Even when you feel stuck in this loop—unmotivated and unwilling to participate in life—sometimes just showing up, just being present, is a victory. It’s essential to acknowledge these wins and to start recognising them for what they are. This shift in perspective can help break the cycle and ease the persistent feeling of failure.
