I completed my intensive outpatient program today. I'm just tired. We'll see how it all goes.

(Change your mindset! Love yourself! You're on a journey! [ok maybe that one]) and THAT will cure me (us). Thanks

This episode is silly. I didn't mean for it to be but it is.

The title suffices as a description.

See Above

My typical ruminations: I am a person who manages mental health to survive. New diagnoses: bipolar 2.

The title says it all.

Coming back from a relapse. May possibly start another podcast to continue this journey. If you or someone you know needs to talk to someone about ANYTHING, please call 800-273-8255

I truly hope you enjoy this episode.

Well I guess I'm learning that not only is depression sickness but migraines are also a disease. How about that? I guess this is a journey but I'll be on for a while. I hope you'll be there and glean some value by doing so.

No offense to podcast platforms but I'm kind of tired of having to come up with a description for an episode so until I feel differently this is the description LOL

I keep doing this thing where I will record an episode but not publish right away… Really no reason as to why. So I recorded this probably like two weeks ago and I'm going to publish now. hopefully this is appropriate for all ages or whatever

Whatever it's making me do some thing so I can publish this episode. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I recorded this a couple of weeks ago and (as per usual did not plan to publish) I'm publishing now. This one divulges personal stuff but speaking one's truth is probably the most powerful tool we have toward our own and others' liberation. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Forthcoming

I don't even know what to say....I guess the podcast keeps coming back to this notion of being a pleasure anorexic. How that ties into capitalism, how that ties into our culture at large, and I don't think I talked about it too much but it certainly ties into being a trauma survivor. I Think I'll leave it there ✌

Listen to this podcast episode if you have ever felt shitty about how shitty you're feeling because you feel like your kid is being kinda shitty (or just a perfectly normal 4 yo in my case

Perfection is COMPLETE bullshit and the greatest con of our time. In so far as intrapersonal understanding goes. I bow to Imperfection as I bow to any holy being or divinity. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

If you know anyone or you yourself would like to come on this podcast and share your story, please email me and let me know. I would love everyone to feel that this is a platform for them.

Quick five minute episode about the importance of acknowledging your humanity as a mother. Your child doesn't need a perfect mother; your child needs you

Hello family, I hope this episode resonates with someone.

Ruminating about myriad topics. Working a side hustle = good for mental health. Being a mama in this society is a hustle we've been socialized into. Motherhood is broken; not us. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The title pretty much says it all. Going through a rough patch. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Depression; Starbucks epiphany; saw a beautiful deer

It's so good to be back. This is the first episode of recorded and over a month. And the time that has passed, I have learned that depression big D some thing that will be with me for the foreseeable future. Acceptance is my mantra. I had to puncture the illusion that one day, “ i'll beat this thing!” I really hope this can help someone out there. If I had any message or wish for you, it would be a huge hug and whispering the words, “you are enough” in your ear. ☮️

It's been a minute. Missed you all. I need this podcast and have added the blog (officially) as a companion to this podcast. thismamarisesup.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Miss you all it's been a while. This was in true this mama rises up fashion and that it was totally impromptu and they ended up talking about my personal father experiences, fatherhood and whatever else you hear on this episode. LOL. Love you all. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

A 2-minute chit-chat interview with my first and unequivocally favorite guest on the podcast. This is meant to be my lighthearted counterpoint to all the suicide talk. I hope it lightens your mood and/ or brightens the moment for you. ✌

I share an experience about the above (refer to title). This issue maybe at the root of this entire podcast. But not sure. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I kind of ramble at the beginning trying to talk about self-hate and self-love but really having to be in the moment I realized but I need to talk about suicide. I'm feeling bad right now and that's OK. You know what makes feeling bad and/or suicidal worse? NOT talking about it. So I thought I would model what that might look like. In other words, YES wanting to commit suicide is a terrible thing to feel and hear about from someone you care for. But not talking about it or listening to someone talk about it is NEVER the better choice. May we all be blessed; Namaste. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I wanted to add a little bit to be “why do I deserve to live?” episode by including a bit about the wonders and importance of Not-Doing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

1) How do I feel? 2) What do I need? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I answer the title's question. More in second part.

“I don't know enough. I'm not smart enough. I need to research more. Who am I to do the thing? I don't have anything unique to say so why bother?” ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED STATEMENTS ARE BUUUUUUUUUULLSHIT! You don't need anyone's permission or “blessing” to do a fucking thing of you feel moved to take a risk. You just fucking do it. The end. Just an FYI this podcast episode is for me as much as it is for you

I unpack how wanting to be of service to others is more selfish than it is “selfless”. My need to heal wrests on this podcast being useful to “at least one” person. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I would be tempted to call the state “trailer” but I hardly think it will trail you into the podcast. LOL. I'm just a depressed person doing a thing --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
