You know, when you talk to people about mental health, you'll hear all kinds of takes about psychologists. Some folks absolutely swear by therapy and counselling, while others are more hesitant or even sceptical, maybe because of a bad experience or just different beliefs. It's only natural—everyone's got their own story and background that shape how they see mental health support.Let me share where I'm coming from. I hear people say psychologists get it wrong, that they misdiagnose, or just don't get what you're going through. I really do get those concerns. But at the end of the day, what matters to me is what actually works—the real-life evidence, you know?From my own experience, going to see a psychologist was the best step I could have taken. Honestly, I owe so much to two incredible psychologists who helped me turn things around. Without them, I'm not sure where I'd be today.Funny enough, the people who helped me in the end weren't the ones I was sent to first. When I got injured, I got referred to psychologists who'd spent decades working with veterans. Because my case was labelled PTSD, I guess they figured I'd fit right in. But since I wasn't a veteran, it just didn't click—they didn't really relate to what I was dealing with. That experience taught me something important: finding the right mental health professional, someone who really gets you, makes all the difference.SUPPORT US NOW.

The Continuing Impact of SuicideThe sad thing that I didn't understand when I attempted to take my life a number of years ago was that it wasn't going to end the pain. Sure, it would end my pain, and nobody knows what's next, so, for all intents and purposes, for somebody living with suicidal ideation, with the idea that they need a way out... ALL THEY REALLY WANT IS THE PAIN TO STOP.They just need it to stop. And their minds are telling them that the only way that they can logically stop the pain is by ending our lives.What do I mean by the pain doesn't die? I have a mate that took his life a few years ago. And the thing that I've always known about my mate is he was more compassionate than me. He was more caring than me. He was kinder than me.It wasn't a competition, but he just was. He was one of those extraordinary people that just exudes care for the people around him.If he knew how much pain his death has caused, continues to cause, I would bet anything that he would take it back.Let's dive in and discuss this today.SUPPORT US NOW.

Turning pain into purpose is a powerful idea. Many who struggle with mental health feel that difficult times are wasted, but these experiences can be given meaning.Finding purpose is more than just finding reasons to keep going—it's about discovering what makes life meaningful again.This journey is important for both those living with mental illness and those who care for them. Everyone can help bring hope and meaning back into life.Let's explore how pain can be transformed and what purpose can look like for each person.SUPPORT US NOW.

The Endless Treadmill: Coping with the Cycle of FailureLife with mental illness can often feel like a never-ending treadmill—a constant journey of perceived failure. Every time you turn around, it feels as though you've failed at something else. This sense of failure doesn't always arise from specific events; sometimes it's simply the feeling of not being healthy or “normal.”On today's podcast, we're discussing this experience. Even when you feel stuck in this loop—unmotivated and unwilling to participate in life—sometimes just showing up, just being present, is a victory. It's essential to acknowledge these wins and to start recognising them for what they are. This shift in perspective can help break the cycle and ease the persistent feeling of failure.SUPPORT US NOW.

Sometimes the reality of living with mental illness is that it just sucks. There's no other way to put it. Sometimes, even though life might be going along well, things might be going well for you, you just wake up one day and everything's terrible.And you don't know why, and sometimes you feel like you've taken a huge backward step.I've experienced these moments quite a lot recently. It's not that things have happened per se. But I just know that my mentals aren't terrific at the moment.So I wake up and I have to acknowledge that, hey, at the moment, things aren't great. They suck.What do you do in that circumstance? What am I doing? What do I expect from the people around me? What can the people around me do to help me when I'm feeling this way, when you're feeling this way, when you feel like you wake up one morning and just everything sucks?We're going to dive into that today.SUPPORT US NOW.

When you have a mental illness every conversation you have can be a minefield.On the outside you're cool as a cucumber- but inside your mind is a tornado of self doubt, self-loathing and self recrimination.Every interaction is held with this ongoing sound track of self stigma.The truth is though, that you are entitled to an opinion- your voice does count.

I'm doing something today that I never do.I'm going to talk about a subject not directly related tomental illness.I'm going to say something (that I am astounded to understand) will come at a cost.People WILL unsubscribe. Friends WILL unfriend me.But I cannot stay silent.I STAND WITH ISREAL.I support the Jews and their right to have a safe and protectedhomeland.But a conversation I had recently has exposed me to the factthat there are still people out there who believe that the Germans were somehow justified. That the Jews do not deserve a homeland or even exist.I can believe with all of my heart in the cause and peopleof Israel, but if I am silent, it costs me nothing.I will not be silent… I STAND WITH ISREAL.SUPPORT US NOW.

Discussions surrounding suicide are often avoided and considered difficult to address. Despite the discomfort associated with this topic, it is important that it remains part of our conversations. Recently, there has been increased attention to the appropriate use of language when discussing suicide, commonly referred to as "safe talk."There is a paradox in these discussions: while advocates emphasize the necessity of open dialogue about suicide, there are also frequent demands on which language is or is not acceptable. This guidance can create confusion or apprehension for individuals who wish to engage constructively in these conversations, particularly storytellers or those seeking to raise awareness. The challenge lies in fostering an environment where sensitive topics can be discussed thoughtfully, while also respecting established guidelines around terminology and communication.SUPPORT US NOW.

You may be caring for someone who is exhibiting suicidal behaviours. Your natural (and normal) instinct is to want to fix them.This is wrong. You cannot fix the issues your loved one is going through.Your 'job' is to listen, to love them and try to get them to seek help.If you take on the burden of being responsible for their behaviors and decisions, The sad fact is that you are going to fail.Taking on another person's burden is dangerous for your own mental health and will only lead to heart break.We discuss this further on today's episode.SUPPORT US NOW.

I recently discussed why I openly talk about suicide and believe it should be part of public conversation. There are several reasons, but three stand out: reducing stigma, addressing the silence that contributes to the issue, and recognising that we can't solve a problem if we don't understand it—open discussion is essential for understanding.SUPPORT US NOW.

The other day I found out that a friend of mine had died and for the last couple of days I've been clearly trying to digest it.I've lived overseas in the days before Facebook, and I have had these really intense personal friendships for a very short amount of time. Friendships that aren't documented in any way. No selfies or social media posts. I'm the sort of person who has friendships that although we don't see each other for a while, when we do meet up, it's like no time has passed and everything is still the same. We just pick up from where we left off.And that was the case with my friend that passed away. I thought we'd have more time.We don't really talk about the effect that grief has on mental illness. and that's what I want to explore a little bit today.SUPPORT US NOW.

I started writing BUMWIPER before I was hurt. I started writing it while I was still working in the disability profession and at was working at a fairly high level.I was about to become a network manager. I was a behavior modification expert. My skills were highly sought after and for all intents and purposes, this was going to be my life, working with people with disabilities. Then I got hurt, attacked in the workplace by a guy with a knife. After 18 years of violent assaults, the psychiatrist said that this was the straw that broke the camel's back.So when I look at my book, BUMWIPER, I see it very differently than I did when I first wrote it.

When I first began writing BUMWIPER, over 20 years ago, i was a different man.I set out to write a book about the oft mis-understood world of caring for people with disabilities.It was going to be a lighthearted, self-deprecating look at my job and how I reacted to it.Now I see it as something different entirely. It is in many ways naive. It is immature. And it was untruthful.I did not understand the toll my job was taking on me and my mental health.Si it is that I rewrite the book with greater understanding and, hopefully, wisdom.Pls enjoy chapter 3 of my odyssey.SUPPORT US NOW.

I am a great believer in the power of the spoken word. Poetry however has always been difficult for me and I have never really been able to fully appreciate it (or even get into it).But when my friend Ananya posted a poem onto her socials, I challenged myself to 'give it a go'.What I read was a revelation. I'd never connected so much with a piece of prose.I needed to discuss what I'd read and who better to do that with than the creator of that prose.Today I welcome Ananya to share her work and some insights into her journey with mental illness.SUPPORT US NOW.

When I was first hurt, it was hard for me to acknowledge that I wasn't able to do certain things anymore. Things that I'd done a million times would be a impossible for me. I would feel extremely guilty whenever I had to say no to anybody for any reason. I just felt that as and normal existing human, that I should be able to do everything that I set my mind to. And it could be as simple as just a family gathering, something like that. I had to learn that at times, I had to have the courage to say no. I had to have the courage to say, to allow myself to be a little bit vulnerable and say, I can't do this for whatever reason. Going to talk about that today on Mark My Words.

Even though I have a mental illness I need to understand that your behavior is my own.I have had to learn to be humble. Had to learn to apologize to my children, to humble myself in front of my children, to be vulnerable in front of my children.And that in turn allows me to be vulnerable to people outside of my house, to people that I wrong, to people that I treat poorly in a moment of deep anxiety or deep depression or deep anger.To me, it is one of the best ways I've had to keep moving forward. Own my mistakes, understand that I did the wrong thing, admit that I did the wrong thing and try to do better next time.SUPPORT US NOW.

Resilience is not a destination. Resilience is a journey. And resilience is a decision that you make often, sometimes many times in one day.A couple of weeks ago, something happened. There was a miscommunication, and it went really, really badly for me.When the incident happened, I lost it. All of my symptoms came back... the silver flashing in the corner of my eye, the shaking, the stuttering, being unable to talk, the anger.And then I had to go do a radio show. And then after that, I had to go speak at a university.Now, at the time, I didn't see what I was doing was an an achievement because I'd already failed that day.But less than 45 minutes after this intense mental health breakdown, was able to do a radio show. Yeah, it was not the best radio show I've ever done, but I did it.But I just have to keep saying to myself, mate, this is resilience. You are more resilient than you would have been able to be even two, three years ago. Resilience is a decision.Resilience is a journey. And I really hope that I can continue to share yours.SUPPORT US NOW.

So I was talking to somebody a little while back and they asked me a question that surprised me, a question that I wasn't expecting, a question that I thought was self-evident to everyone. I didn't think it was a question that anybody would need to ask.But it was quite simply, what is PTSD? Today is I'm just going to dive into what PTSD means for me.

It's 2025! To start this year, I'd like to go back to 'why'. Why do i do this podcast? A big part of the reason was losing my friend Daniel to suicide. His loss inspired me to start telling my story so no-one in my sphere of influence would think that suicide is the best option (or even a 'good' option). All suicide is preventable. SUPPORT US NOW.

So, it's been 4 years and 250 episodes. When you have a mental illness, milestones can be an important tool to track your progress. For me it doesn't feel like 4 years and 250 episodes. Inside my mind it's been a bleak wasteland of self-doubt and self-stigma that i have to challenge every day. But it's been awesome. I have a record of my journey of recovery spanning for 208 weeks that I can reflect on and be proud of. And along the way I've helped some people. But it wouldn't have happened without Torrien, Kevin and Lorraine. Most importantly it wouldn't have happened without Meredith, my wife and best friend. SUPPORT US NOW. See below for how.

If you're like me, you often chide yourself as being lazy or overusing the phrase 'I don't want to'. However sometimes 'I don't want to' needs to be replaced with 'I CAN'T'! Learning that sometimes I have to say 'I can't do this' has been one of the hardest things I have to do. I have to fight the feeling that I'm letting people down. I need to realize that saying 'I can't' is the safest thing for me to do. SUPPORT US NOW. See below for how.

After I was hurt was when i began to understand what it was like to be an introvert. I always assumed that an introvert was basically an unmotivated extrovert. Someone who could meet social challenges the way i did if that were forced to. I did not understand what it was like to be socially anxious or constantly unsure. I still am an extrovert- but it's more complicated now. I discuss this on today's Mark MI Words. SUPPORT US NOW. See below for how.
