    Prompted by an episode of Seeing Red Podcast (linked below), I am questioning whether I should grow up.

  • 55. Hallucinations & Low Moods

    Welcome back to the Exercising Depression Podcast.

    I'm not doing all that well; my meds have stopped working again, I'm hallucinating a lot and sleep is very hard.

    I'm back at the gym though, which is something.
