How are you? I'm good, brother. What's up, man? Um, well, I emailed in about a week ago and I got a good question for you. All right, let's do it. I am trying to improve my life a bit. I'm definitely doing that through therapy, psychiatry and all the works.

Um, but I find something I'm running into kind of a roadblock is that I compare myself to other people, um, specifically men, but it can be anyone.

This was about a decade ago, actually. My dad got a job with Nissan in Tennessee, right by you, actually. He moved down to start the job when I was a junior. My mom stayed with me to finish high school in Michigan. Then when I graduated, she moved down with her. My senior year was just a mess, a complete disaster of mental health, emotional health.

The whole thing was just a disaster for everyone involved. I got really depressed. I started going to therapy, psychiatry, and just doing whatever I could. And so it's just been a continuing road from there.

Well, when I was 18, it was a major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety and a few other anxiety disorders. Um, this last year though, about a year and a half ago, they diagnosed me with bipolar type two.

What, what, what, what had them, why'd they do that?

Yeah. So I was on a medication, Klonopin, um, which is obviously, as you know, a suppressant, a depressant, um, And I came off of it just to see, like, you know, I think my anxiety will be okay, which it was. But then I started to see an increase in episodes of just feeling really, really good. Um, Like so good to the point where I was like, man, I feel like I'm almost on cocaine or something.

Like I feel so good. And this happened on a repeated basis about once a month. And I ended up finding a pattern and presented it to my doctors. And they said, wow, there really is a huge pattern here. It happens on the regular once a month, just like expected. So they kind of diagnosed me with it.
