Acceptable Madness

Okay, so it's not so much about "nothing" per se, but it's about feeling relaxed, not stressed, and for a brief moment, like I wasn't depressed. I had the pleasure of finishing two of my masters classes today (the day before this was released,) and although I start another tomorrow, for a short 7 or so hours, I didn't have any responsibilities. Sure, I had to do a few things like get dinner, walk Halsey, and play with Leia, I didn't have any overarching things to do for once. I felt completely and totally uninhibited and I could do what I wanted without feeling guilty. I took that time to play Mario Party with me beautiful fiancée, spend time with my pets, and reflect on why this feeling of "nothing" happened, and how I can replicate it moving forward. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

For all the time I talk on this podcast about the revelations that I've had about myself, I'm still no expert on me. Sometimes I need to reach out to other people for help. This episode is about the people I've reached out to, when and why I did, and what came of it. Along with that, I talk about the times that other people have reached out to me, and what that made me realize about people as a whole. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the episode! --- 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.

Hey - you there! Thanks for joining me for another episode of the podcast. This week, I talk about figuring out priorities. What inspired me to talk about it is the fact that I (along with everyone else in the world) have a lot of stuff on my plate that I either need or want to do, and I don't have enough time to do it all. This caused me to really sit down and figure out what I needed to do to be most successful in the future, and what will make me happier over the duration of my life. With that came a lot of soul searching and thoughts about every aspect of what makes me who I am, what I should do in the future to make me happier, and how my recent revelations can help you in your future as well. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

Have you ever thought about diving into something and immersing yourself so completely so that you don't have to worry about the thoughts going through your head? If so, I did it for you and learned that it's not a great thing to do, so I don't recommend it. I've been very busy with everything going on in my life that it's hard for me to focus on the stuff that I know makes me feel happier, such as talking with my friends and family, writing, making content for Acceptable Madness, and more. This last week has amounted to me working almost exclusively on my masters classes and other daily responsibilities, and although I was able to get everything done in time, the act of putting my mental health on the backburner to focus on it was hard... and putting it frankly, it sucked. So, to answer the main question of this episode - no, you can't work so hard that you forget about your depression. In this episode, I dive deeper into why I think that is. --- 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.

It's been a long road - after a little over 2 years, it's time to celebrate Acceptable Madness' 100th birthday. In that short amount of time, I've talked for hours and hours about different topics such as loss, friendship, sleep, rejection, and so much more. I've told you more about myself than most of my closest friends know about me, and I've uncovered more about how my mind works in that time than I ever could have imagined. In this episode, I'd like to talk about how much I've changed over that time, how I feel about it, and what I'd like to see moving forward. This episode is special for me, not just because of it being triple digits, but because it means I've been able to start something and follow through with it, no matter the challenges that life (and that pesky depression) throws at me. I hope that I've helped you through whatever struggles you're having, and hope that the lessons I've shared with you will keep you moving forward through life with optimism and strength, because life is tough, but you're tougher. Thanks for listening, and I can't wait to talk to you in another 100 episodes! --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.
