Season 2, Episode 12

**** trigger warning - talk of mental health and suicide****

We follow the thread of “Follow Your Arrow” into the messy reality of PTSD, stigma, and why other people’s opinions can quietly steer our choices. I share how a sore knee and a jarred finger triggered a sudden mental health crash, then work through practical ways to reframe setbacks and speak to ourselves with more kindness. 
• using the song “Follow Your Arrow” to challenge stigma and judgment 
• putting our needs first even when others disapprove 
• reflecting on Jeff’s honesty about alcoholism, AA, and PTSD masking 
• noticing how quickly physical pain can trigger depression 
• navigating the catch-22 of staying active while risking injury 
• dealing with exhaustion, sleep issues, and low tolerance days 
• attending the hospital memorial rock garden opening ceremony 
• redefining productivity and celebrating small wins to reduce negative self-talk
