Bipolar Style | Intermission | Johnny talks about “Med Shaming” and sensing humor

WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:11.869 It's only and now it's online ad Bible this stylecomy motions with Bible style. 2 00:00:14.269 --> 00:00:19.230 That's me. What's up, Johnny? Motions here bipolar style. How are 3 00:00:19.269 --> 00:00:24.500 you doing? Oh Yeah, really that bad? Huh? I'm just playing. 4 00:00:24.899 --> 00:00:28.460 It's been a tough a couple of weeks. Today I'm doing a quick 5 00:00:28.539 --> 00:00:35.420 intermission in the newbies guide to bipolar disorder. We're doing a twelve part series, 6 00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:41.009 we meaning my co host Jessica and myself. However, I've been moving. 7 00:00:41.049 --> 00:00:44.250 I'll tell you more about that in a second. So we're kind of 8 00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:49.210 disassembled. I'm going to disintegrated at the moment. So you're going to get 9 00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:53.600 one episode, a quickie from me here, and I also have another episode 10 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:58.320 of Jessica doing a Solo episode. The reason for that is I don't have 11 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:03.200 to edit the two together. Half an hour podcast can take about three hours 12 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.030 to edit and I just don't have the focus. I think I might actually 13 00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:10.269 have adhd. I used to think, no, no, I pay too 14 00:01:10.310 --> 00:01:15.390 much attention. Turns out that's not really accurate. Apparently, my inability to 15 00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:21.939 keep doing things and my frustration at concentrating on tedium for very long classic adhd. 16 00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.500 Who Knew I didn't know. Maybe I don't have anya at all. 17 00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:29.859 Maybe I'm just have adhd and depression with a little anxiety mixed in. I 18 00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:34.010 don't know. That's why the call that's why I call the show bipolar style 19 00:01:34.049 --> 00:01:38.890 anyway. So we're doing an intermission show. I hope you've enjoyed the you 20 00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:45.569 know, first six episodes. Will keep those up indefinitely. After the twelve 21 00:01:46.049 --> 00:01:49.719 I'm going to take a break and get back to my other podcasts I produce, 22 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.319 some of which are mental health related. In summer not if you want 23 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.680 to follow along. My twitter handle for all that stuff is at John Emotions. 24 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.349 Pretty simple, and I also posts Jessica's twitter handle as well, but 25 00:02:07.469 --> 00:02:09.349 she probably said it in her own episode. The cool thing is I told 26 00:02:09.349 --> 00:02:13.509 her to send over your episode and I'll put on the intro music and then 27 00:02:14.509 --> 00:02:16.659 upload it and let it go. So I'm not really one to listen to 28 00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:21.620 our episodes much unless I have to edit them, and even then I'm just 29 00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:25.180 listening so we don't screw them up. So there's no like Super Adeline things 30 00:02:25.219 --> 00:02:29.219 we might have said or things it just don't make sense. And sometimes when 31 00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:32.330 you get to people in a room or on Mike's that have a lot to 32 00:02:32.409 --> 00:02:37.129 say and a lot of passion. We're very emphatic. We talk over each 33 00:02:37.129 --> 00:02:38.849 other, so I have to edit that part out. So Anyway, a 34 00:02:38.930 --> 00:02:43.409 lot of times we'll talk for about an hour. I'll take about three hours 35 00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:47.240 to make that into a half an hour show. But fortunately, you know, 36 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.919 or I hope it sounds like it's all spontaneous. However, it's not. 37 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.080 It's actual work. So I don't know what Jessica's podcast is going to 38 00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.669 be about. I may actually listen to it. We always appreciate your feedback 39 00:03:00.750 --> 00:03:04.710 on the things we talked about and one of the things I wanted to mention 40 00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:08.189 that I did get feedback on. As you may know, I think I'm 41 00:03:08.189 --> 00:03:14.139 a very highly sensitive person. So if you send me feedback, I'm going 42 00:03:14.180 --> 00:03:17.139 to it's going to consume me, I'm going to listen to it, I'm 43 00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:22.340 going to read it and I try not to get reactive because you know that's 44 00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:25.539 not a great way to live. I'll try to respond. So I listened 45 00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:30.610 to it and one of the things that stood out the most was a listener 46 00:03:30.729 --> 00:03:38.050 wrote to me really nice email concerned about the the appearance of Med shaming. 47 00:03:38.729 --> 00:03:43.080 Now Med shaming would be like you suck, you take me. I mean 48 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.800 this is my impression of bed shaving is when you run across a person that 49 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.000 doesn't take that does take medication, giving them a hard time for taking their 50 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.120 medicine, which I don't think I've done, but if I've ever given that 51 00:03:54.240 --> 00:04:00.789 impression, I apologize to you and say anybody that I may have offended or 52 00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:04.430 hurt for sure, because my intent is never to shame people for anything except 53 00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:10.259 elected officials. I'm an anarchist. I don't think we need rulers, kings, 54 00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:14.699 gods, anything like that. That's just me and that kind of allso 55 00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:20.139 feeds into the my anti capitalist thing. So when it comes to medication, 56 00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:28.329 I am all for relieving the suffering, whether it's cannabis or prescription drugs or 57 00:04:28.329 --> 00:04:31.769 whatnot. And in both of those realms that we dealer, he's a capitalist. 58 00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:35.970 He's making money. Clearly the pharmaceutical companies are making a bundle of money 59 00:04:36.610 --> 00:04:43.240 on antidepressants and things like that. So I have issues with capitalism in general. 60 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.040 No offense. I'm not like a socialist or communist or any of that 61 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.360 stuff. I'm literally an anarchist. I think people should be free to do 62 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.550 what they want and living within the structures and the laws that exist. But 63 00:04:55.629 --> 00:04:59.029 we don't need like a principle at school telling us what to do all the 64 00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:04.230 time. That's ridiculous because then it leaves room for interpretation by that ruler to 65 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:09.660 fuck things up and drive things askew, much like in America right now. 66 00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:15.779 So my idea that, oh, I think it might have come down to 67 00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:17.779 this. I'm like into marketing. I'm a marketing expert. I've been doing 68 00:05:17.819 --> 00:05:23.490 it not tenzero hours, more like thirty or fortyzero hours of experience marketing and 69 00:05:24.050 --> 00:05:27.970 I love the sound of the Hashtag farm free, you know, like farm 70 00:05:28.009 --> 00:05:33.490 pharmaceuticals, Ph a arm free. But even that can have the connotation like 71 00:05:33.930 --> 00:05:36.959 hey, I'm better than you because I don't have meds. I think I 72 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.240 may have explained it on other shows, but the reason I don't have meds 73 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:47.199 is because oftentimes I'm out of work and out of medical insurance and I don't 74 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:53.750 have meds. So I'm often without medication, not by choice, it's just 75 00:05:53.990 --> 00:05:56.350 I build up the choice after the fact. You know. I kind of 76 00:05:56.470 --> 00:06:00.069 like bolster my decision out of some kind of philosophy, but it's not a 77 00:06:00.149 --> 00:06:04.019 philosophy. I'm just I just don't have money for meds. So hashtag farm 78 00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:09.540 free is often because I just don't have money for medication. And the interesting 79 00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:14.699 thing is for the past ten, almost fifteen years, maybe twenty, I 80 00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:17.420 don't know, at least fifteen years, I've tried all of the different medications 81 00:06:17.569 --> 00:06:23.129 for bipolar disorder and none of them had made me feel any better. So 82 00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:27.329 that's one thing. So I don't really mind not having them because I have 83 00:06:27.449 --> 00:06:30.370 to deal with my own shit anyway. And like we were talking about some 84 00:06:30.410 --> 00:06:33.759 of those on some of those earlier episodes, that the MED's just ease the 85 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.600 suffering. Well, I can get used to most of the suffering, so 86 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.759 long as I don't kill myself. Cool like, I'll get through it. 87 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.000 But there's still the underlying programming, the things that were in my environment as 88 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.470 I came up that made me think the way I think that those still have 89 00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:55.110 to be reprogrammed. So I'm actually I'm going to see a new therapist tomorrow. 90 00:06:55.110 --> 00:06:59.310 I will let you know how that goes. Wish me luck. The 91 00:06:59.430 --> 00:07:03.459 hardest thing actually, though, about the medicine is when you go from the 92 00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:09.459 door to doctor or, moreover, from Insurance Company to Insurance Company. They 93 00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:14.300 often don't support the same medication as the one prior to you. There's no 94 00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:18.009 common medical file that goes with you from state to state or country to country. 95 00:07:18.410 --> 00:07:23.290 You just cut as somehow, as a mentally ill person, supposed to 96 00:07:23.329 --> 00:07:25.810 gather all these things and keep track of them. I can't do that. 97 00:07:26.930 --> 00:07:30.240 And since I can't do that and don't do that, I end up at 98 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.680 the mercy of insurance companies who switch the MEDS. Now, switching meds means 99 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.199 coming off a D living without medicine for a minute and then getting on a 100 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.949 different MED and the up and down is ridiculous if you already been labeled as 101 00:07:46.069 --> 00:07:50.430 bipolar and then the insurance companies want to bounce you from Med to MED, 102 00:07:50.509 --> 00:07:53.990 to Med to med to mean to make them Adad of day. It's fucked 103 00:07:54.029 --> 00:07:57.750 up. I would just as soon deal with my own roller coaster emotions than 104 00:07:57.829 --> 00:08:03.899 dealing with the emotions that are attributed to the medication. That's that's sucky. 105 00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:11.459 So I hope that kind of explains why I support my own situation with, 106 00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:16.170 you know, pithy little hashtags like farm free. It's not meant to offend 107 00:08:16.209 --> 00:08:20.329 and certainly you know bless you. If you found some help live a balance 108 00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:24.250 life and you feel good about yourself, by all means keep taking that medicine. 109 00:08:26.170 --> 00:08:28.839 Hopefully they don't Jack up the price to where you have to drop paid 110 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.799 or anything like that, but keep doing what you're doing and maybe consider adding 111 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.360 some of the natural kind of things that we've talked about. Getting structured sleep, 112 00:08:41.830 --> 00:08:43.870 drinking lots of water, get exercise, go out in the Sun. 113 00:08:45.309 --> 00:08:48.990 I'm definitely not saying those are a cure. I'm just saying that those are 114 00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:52.830 the things that I rely on now that I don't have pharmaceuticals. Makes Sense, 115 00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:56.700 okay, cool, and if it doesn't, by all means you can 116 00:08:56.740 --> 00:09:01.659 email me or you can dm me on twitter, whatever you want. I 117 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:05.580 still don't use facebook. We have a site there and the podcast goes out 118 00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:11.049 through there. But if you eat, if you message me through facebook and 119 00:09:11.090 --> 00:09:15.970 I don't reply in a while, just try twitter or try emailing US bipolar 120 00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:20.529 style at gmailcom and I will respond immediately. Well, I'll bean like within 121 00:09:20.610 --> 00:09:24.360 a day. I'm pretty responsive that way. So, anyway, back to 122 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:31.240 the kind of the podcast production thing. On March thirty is world bipolar day. 123 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.000 Now that doesn't have anything to do with the poll shift, you know, 124 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.070 magnetic pole shift or anything like that. It obviously has to do with 125 00:09:41.149 --> 00:09:45.710 bipolar disorder and it's going to be cool. I think. It's kind of 126 00:09:45.789 --> 00:09:52.179 sponsored and promoted by the International Bipolar Foundation, which can be found at IBPF 127 00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:56.259 DOT org. Check those guys out. They do lots of good work. 128 00:09:56.779 --> 00:10:01.500 I don't know what the initial stand for. I don't know what the P 129 00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:11.330 stands for International Bipolar Foundation, maybe whatever. You know I feel about people 130 00:10:11.330 --> 00:10:15.889 hyphenating the word bipolar. It's that's that's not how I do it, but 131 00:10:16.009 --> 00:10:20.370 anyway, I'm going to set up our live stream, a podcast live stream. 132 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:26.639 So on March thirty we will we meeting Jessica and myself. We will 133 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.600 stream an episode of the podcast live. Will take your combats.

You know, we'll have some fun with 136 00:10:39.269 --> 00:10:45.269 it, but it all comes down to bring in some cool awareness to the 137 00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:50.899 fact that tons of otherwise normal people actually suffer daily with bipolar like maybe you. 138 00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:56.860 So pull out your phone or switch over from the PODCAST APP right quick, 139 00:10:56.700 --> 00:11:03.809 tag on your calendar and Mark World Bipolar Day March thirty and set an 140 00:11:03.850 --> 00:11:09.210 alarm for the twenty nine so you'll remember to find us in tune in. 141 00:11:09.570 --> 00:11:13.129 We'll do lots of the typical promotion and letting people know that, hey, 142 00:11:13.210 --> 00:11:16.769 we're doing a podcast or whatever. But I'd like for you to join in 143 00:11:16.889 --> 00:11:20.519 and you know, feel that you belong, because you do well long might 144 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.279 not belong with those other idiots, but you belong with us, with US 145 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.360 idiots. Welcome to the idiots dumps. I'm just joking. That was one 146 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.470 of the things my last therapist always said. was like, don't even joke 147 00:11:33.549 --> 00:11:39.350 about the negative talk like because I have selfdeprecating sense of humor and attend to 148 00:11:39.350 --> 00:11:43.429 say things like that. She said, noope, don't do that ever. 149 00:11:45.110 --> 00:11:48.500 So I'm trying to catch myself. Anyway, those other people are idiots, 150 00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:54.899 not us. So join us. World Bipolar Day March thirty. Cool. 151 00:11:56.860 --> 00:12:01.809 So I mentioned I'm moving around a lot. I think I mentioned on the 152 00:12:01.809 --> 00:12:05.289 other podcast that I was going to move about three hours from herror and start 153 00:12:05.370 --> 00:12:09.610 a new job. Yeah, I tried that. The job was not what 154 00:12:09.690 --> 00:12:13.649 I was sold on. I had some okay. Well, I got down 155 00:12:13.690 --> 00:12:18.399 there and the guy who had hired me. He was no longer there. 156 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.720 The number two person under him. Well, that person showed up the morning 157 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.919 I was going to start telling me how she had quit the day before and 158 00:12:30.149 --> 00:12:33.470 only came back that day because the powers that be at the corporate office, 159 00:12:33.750 --> 00:12:37.350 you know, effectively begged her to kind of come on and help on board 160 00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:43.509 us. Well, that's thing too. People gone to the top people there. 161 00:12:43.509 --> 00:12:45.980 I'm like, that's odd. Well, then I started to realize why, 162 00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:48.340 as this would have been a sales job and, like I said, 163 00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:52.379 I'm I'm a marketing expert. I know what it takes to generate enough traffic 164 00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:58.049 so that salespeople can sell shit. This place didn't have any marketing going on. 165 00:12:58.490 --> 00:13:03.250 Apparently they thought I was going to offer my my marketing services for free 166 00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:07.129 for a commission sales job, and that's not how it works. So I'm 167 00:13:07.210 --> 00:13:09.690 like, well, this is really fucked up. So here I am, 168 00:13:11.250 --> 00:13:15.440 you know, three hours, three or four hours from home, when not 169 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.240 even home, like from my last home base and shreeveport. Now I'm way 170 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:26.360 south, deep in Louisiana, are you know, Acadia, with a job 171 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.230 that pays half of the minimum wage of California, and they want me to 172 00:13:30.350 --> 00:13:33.389 now work six hours, I mean six days a week, and like fuck 173 00:13:33.509 --> 00:13:37.789 you, it's ridiculous. Can't do it. Not Six days a week to 174 00:13:37.870 --> 00:13:41.580 break my brain. Work in too many hours will fuck you up and you 175 00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:43.220 should know that. And you don't have to kill yourself just to earn a 176 00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:50.940 living. There are other ways. So I'd go home each night stressed out, 177 00:13:50.059 --> 00:13:54.899 like what the fuck, what am I going to do? And fortunately 178 00:13:54.179 --> 00:14:00.009 my best friends Anica and Patty and strieveport, they had tried to talk me 179 00:14:00.049 --> 00:14:01.970 out of it. Anyway. Kind of, not really, but you know, 180 00:14:01.529 --> 00:14:03.690 they say, well, yeah, don't go less. You know it's 181 00:14:03.690 --> 00:14:07.009 right, and in my attitude was like I got to take a chance, 182 00:14:07.090 --> 00:14:09.080 you know, we had to keep moving in life and that the DA. 183 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.399 And they're like okay, go ahead, good luck. But they welcome me 184 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.960 back with open arms and just doing a reset. So, anyway, just 185 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.759 try new things, you know, don't be scared. It was a pain 186 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.509 in the ASS. I had to pack up and move all my shit three 187 00:14:24.590 --> 00:14:28.750 hours away, and less than a week later I'm back and all back and 188 00:14:30.230 --> 00:14:33.789 coming back and I kind of felt like I had my tail between my legs, 189 00:14:33.830 --> 00:14:37.350 but in hindsight I'm like no, why stick around a fucked up situation? 190 00:14:37.990 --> 00:14:41.259 Cut Your losses as quick as you can and get back into the GROOVE, 191 00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:46.460 you know, on the way back, since I rarely listen to podcast 192 00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:52.340 except on long driving trips, because through that part of Louisiana there's a lot 193 00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:54.730 of places where there's no radio signal, not even a phone signal. So 194 00:14:54.809 --> 00:14:58.409 I downloaded some podcast to listen to. Oh by the way, I I 195 00:14:58.409 --> 00:15:07.799 did experience South Louisiana Mardi Gras. Now people when they hear I'm in Louisiana 196 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.840 they think, Oh yeah, I went to Mardy grown New Orleans. Well, 197 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.799 every fucking city in Louisiana has Mardy Gras. So that's one thing. 198 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:22.909 And the Marty Gras I saw in the little town of Jennings was something else. 199 00:15:24.070 --> 00:15:28.350 If you ever see the Anthony Bordain I forget his last one of his 200 00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:33.990 last episodes of any show he did was a Mardy Gras in south Louisiana, 201 00:15:33.190 --> 00:15:37.740 so check that out. That was legit. It was exactly like that and 202 00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:41.740 I would go back for that because it's just nuts, very American. I 203 00:15:41.940 --> 00:15:45.700 just I don't even know how to explain it. Anthony Boor Dane has a 204 00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:46.820 show about it. Go check it out. I don't know if it was 205 00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:54.610 no reservations or his other one or whatever it was, but good stuff anyway. 206 00:15:54.649 --> 00:15:58.250 Driving back I was listening to the Joe Rogan show, which I honestly 207 00:15:58.289 --> 00:16:03.250 I don't recommend very much as a slippery slope into the ault right because of 208 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:08.279 what he what he doesn't counter. When a fucking jackass Alt right type comes 209 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.360 on his show. He doesn't confront them, he accepts them and almost embraces 210 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.639 them. But Oh wait, fuck that. I wasn't in the show I 211 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.669 was listening to. I was listening to Chapo trap out, but Chopo traphouse. 212 00:16:22.509 --> 00:16:26.590 These guys are self proclaimed socialist. They make a hundred and tenzero dollars 213 00:16:26.669 --> 00:16:30.429 a month on patreon. So explain that. I'm not sure how much of 214 00:16:30.470 --> 00:16:36.500 that they give back to the community. Anyway, self proclaimed socialist making a 215 00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:41.460 hundred ten grand on Patreon. So on Chapo. They had the guy who 216 00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:47.649 produces a new netflix series about comedy and dangerous places and it was pretty neat. 217 00:16:47.690 --> 00:16:49.730 But because I'd seen the the series already so I knew what they were 218 00:16:49.769 --> 00:16:53.649 talking about, kind of tuned out and was listening for a deeper message and 219 00:16:53.850 --> 00:16:59.690 what I discerned was that comedy, your sense of comedy, kind of like 220 00:16:59.769 --> 00:17:03.639 your sense of taste or your sense of smell, your sense of comedy really 221 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.599 is based on accepting a situation as it is. So, therefore, back 222 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.279 in the day we used to accept a rape, not accept it. Obviously 223 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.029 it was. It's always been a bad thing, but society in general is 224 00:17:17.069 --> 00:17:22.549 more accepting of it. Therefore, in the S or S S Comedians on 225 00:17:22.630 --> 00:17:27.029 stage would tell rape jokes. People would laugh because they accepted that rape was 226 00:17:27.150 --> 00:17:32.059 part of it. I bring this up because this guy covered all kinds of 227 00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:38.740 crazy war lords and terrorist organizations in this miniseries and they found humor. So 228 00:17:38.819 --> 00:17:42.460 I was thinking, how do they find humor? AH, they've accepted that. 229 00:17:44.099 --> 00:17:49.210 So in my accepting failure at this new job, like I'm accepting that 230 00:17:49.289 --> 00:17:52.970 that shit happens. So I tried to find humor in it so I don't 231 00:17:52.009 --> 00:17:56.650 take it too hard. And again, my whole thing is about time, 232 00:17:56.849 --> 00:18:02.839 times the most precious resource we have, far above money, far above anything 233 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.799 really. So I found accepted the situation and I found some humor in it. 234 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.509 And I hope you know when you especially if you're first diagnosed, with 235 00:18:12.589 --> 00:18:19.069 bipolar. Once you've accepted that diagnosis, you're now allowed to go find humor. 236 00:18:19.309 --> 00:18:25.069 Your sense of humor has expanded. You've accepted more things in life. 237 00:18:25.390 --> 00:18:30.819 Now you're able to sense the humor in those situations. Feel me, no, 238 00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:33.259 I mean, do you feel me now? I'm just planning. Hey, 239 00:18:33.339 --> 00:18:36.700 and I did brush my teeth, by the way. Still have the 240 00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:42.369 freshest breath. And podcasting. Yeah, anyway, I've been talking for way 241 00:18:42.490 --> 00:18:48.130 too long now. I noticed on the PODCAST statistics if we go past about 242 00:18:48.130 --> 00:18:52.089 twenty, twenty five minutes, audience drops off. So I'm right up about 243 00:18:52.089 --> 00:18:56.200 twenty minutes. I hope you enjoyed the little intermission here. We're going to 244 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:03.039 get back to the newbies guide to bipolar disorder on the remaining six, seven, 245 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.720 eight, nine, ten and episode eleven on bipolar style, and also 246 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:12.470 tune into Jessica's show, which, Jesus's either just before this one, or 247 00:19:12.670 --> 00:19:15.950 come and write up one of the other I hope you enjoy them both and 248 00:19:17.190 --> 00:19:19.509 have an awesome rest of your week. Don't forget to change the clocks in 249 00:19:19.670 --> 00:19:26.859 America Saturday night we're moving the clocks spring forward get more sunlight during the day, 250 00:19:26.339 --> 00:19:30.460 which is always helpful for depression and enjoy ourselves. Give yourselves a big 251 00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:40.809 hug and I'll see soon. By body styles on cheese and five following on 252 00:19:41.250 --> 00:19:45.369 twitter joys, excuse me. Quality
