Acceptable Madness

This is something that I think about every day, but I decided that it's finally time to make an episode about it. College is brutal. I don't care how smart you are, college is hard for a few reasons. I hated my undergrad because I didn't handle being away from home and having no friends well. It was also hard because I had nooooo clue what I wanted to do with my life. My masters is hard because it's a lot of work, but it's also more satisfying than my undergrad, even though I'm juggling this and a full-time job. My doctorate (which I haven't gone for) feels like an inevitability, and I honestly can't wait for it. So, how did I go from hating college to diving deeper? Well, I'm glad you asked! That's what this episode is about. I hope you like it. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice. I just do this podcast with the hopes that it can help some people.

What better time is there to talk about burnout than when you're burnt out? In this episode, I talk about the constant exhaustion I've been feeling that's been brought on by work, personal issues, school, raising two amazing little pets, and maintaining basic functional necessities like laundry and cooking. You know that feeling that comes around that makes you want to procrastinate everything you do while also giving you an unusual addiction to Tetris and Chess? Okay, the latter part might just be me. Nonetheless, this episode is about burnout. I hope you enjoy it. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

This week, I'm covering a topic that I think is one of the most important that I've talked about recently. Saying no and setting boundaries for yourself is one of the best ways that I've discovered to cope with the state of my mental health. Whether you're saying no to working late on a Friday, having a game night with friends, or even answering the phone when someone is calling, it's okay to say no and not handle it in that moment if you don't feel like you're in the best state to do so. In this episode, I talk about why saying no is so important, and how mastering the delicate technique of setting boundaries can lead to a much happier lifestyle. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

This is a topic that, if you're anything like me, is a hard one to grasp. It's really easy to think that you’re not worth as much as you actually are or to think you’re worth nothing at all. Whether you suffer from a bad case of imposter syndrome, you believe that you aren't contributing to society in a meaningful way, or you aren't doing a great job where you work, I bet you're doing better than you think. In this episode, I talk about my struggle to see my worth in the world, and how I'm making meaningful change to pursue it. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

Knowing that your mental illness doesn’t define you isn’t a novel concept. Each and every one of us is a unique and special person, but some of us struggle with mental illness. Even though sometimes our lives are dictated by what's going on in our heads, such as a lack of motivation to do something in our everyday lives and an inability to get out of bed, we're more than the thoughts that go through our heads. I think this is an important concept for anyone to know, but those that don't struggle with mental health won't get it until those that are struggling with it internalize it themselves. That's why in this episode, I talk about how I'm so much more than my mental illness. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.
