Acceptable Madness

by Scott McKinney

Welcome to Acceptable Madness! My name is Scott McKinney and I have no problem admitting that I struggle with depression, and you know what? That's okay. I like using my words as an emotional outlet to talk through whatever struggles I'm having. I hope that I can use my experiences and words to help you too in this judgement-free zone. Enjoy the show and I hope you leave happier than you were when you got here.

Looking Forward to the Next…

The next what, you may ask? Well, the next... anything! It's not always easy to keep pushing forward through whatever you're dealing with. Life can be a bit bipolar, so sometimes it'll treat you like royalty, and other times it'll do it's best to keep you down. When it's trying to keep you down, I think it's best to find something in the world that makes you excited, whether it's a TV show, new video game release, or the fact that you're having chicken salad for dinner (which I'm having on Wednesday, so I'm pretty stoked.) There are so many things in the world and your future that you can look forward to, so let's take a dive into what they are, and how you can use them to push through the dark times. --- 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. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for more content. Also, check out my book, Trying Not to Kill Myself, on Amazon!

When Your Motivation Takes a Vacation

33m · Published 24 Aug 08:00
We all know the feeling. You feel inspiration to chase something new and exciting in your life, and the second you get ready to work on it, the motivation disappears. This thing that was driving you mere seconds ago is gone, and now you feel empty and directionless, a fleeting feeling in its place. That's what this episode is about. I talk about what happens when the motivation vanishes without the courtesy of saying goodbye, and you're left with nothing but the desire to lay in bed and eat chips. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

Taking a Much Needed Break

34m · Published 17 Aug 08:00
Taking a break seems like it should be such an easy thing to do. You just... do that thing that makes you feel relaxed, right? But it's not always that easy. That thing that makes you relaxed might not be accessible, you might be feeling too down to do it, or you might simply not know what that thing is supposed to be. Well, I struggle to figure out how to relax sometimes too, and that's what this episode is about. Listen to this week's episode, where I talk about what relaxing is to me, the stress of not being able to relax when you need to, and I attempt a weird analogy about a skateboarder on a halfpipe, even though I've never skateboarded a day in my life. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.

Bullet by Hollywood Undead

33m · Published 10 Aug 08:00
This week, I wanted to try something a little different. Instead of talking about what's going on with me and my life, I talk about the song Bullet, by Hollywood Undead, and what I believe the band was talking about when they wrote it. It's a song that's all about suicide, the implications of it, and what it meant to the character/person that was singing it. My thoughts definitely aren't written in stone, and I hope that while you listen to it, you find some areas that you disagree with, because I'd love to hear your opinions on it! 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.

How to Manage Your Stress

34m · Published 03 Aug 08:00
Stress isn't an easy thing to manage. It's one of life's many "things" that seem to beat all rational, and prevent you from thinking clearly, figuring out what you want, and feeling better. This week, I talk about my approach to managing my stress. My system may not necessarily work for everyone, but it works pretty well for me the majority of the time, so maybe it can work for you, too. I hope that something in here can help you out and make the rest of your week a little easier. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.
