00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Hey, hey, hey, I'm back with something for you to

2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:08.439
<v Speaker 1>think about.

3
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how long this episode is gonna be,

4
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>but it's something that I wanted to talk about. People

5
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 2>have normalized mental health issues.

6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:24.359
<v Speaker 1>You heard me.

7
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 2>People have normalized mental health issues.

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>And it's very unfortunate because when you give power.

9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 2>To something in your life, it can consume you. You can

10
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>succumb to it.

11
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people.

12
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Have labeled themselves and they wear those labels.

13
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Lack a badge of arms honor. It's horrible. People have

14
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>normalized mental health issues.

15
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Mind you, mental health issues that they were not born with.

16
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Most people in the world that have mental health issues

17
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 2>were not born with those issues. They developed those issues

18
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 2>later in life through their lifestyles. They developed those mental

19
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>health issues because of who and what they allowed in

20
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>their lives. They developed those mental health issues, and then

21
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 2>they normalized them.

22
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you what I know. I'm telling you exactly

23
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 1>what I know.

24
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people have unresolved inner issues which have

25
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>formed the mindsets that they currently have, and those mindsets.

26
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Do not.

27
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Allow them to make good and sound judgment, make good

28
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>choices and decisions.

29
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people are always.

30
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Making choices and decisions that are against their own best

31
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>interests because they don't have eyes to see the mindsets

32
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 2>that they have.

33
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, it prohibits them.

34
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>It blocks them from being able to see reality, the truth.

35
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>They see their version of reality, but it's not real.

36
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>They see what they see based on their wants, their desires,

37
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 2>their feelings, their emotions, things like that. But they get

38
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 2>into things that are always against their own best interest.

39
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Then they go through life.

40
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>With all of their unresolved issues, and they compile the

41
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 2>issues of other people onto the issues that they've never

42
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 2>resolved their own issues. Then life happens, the jobs, the children,

43
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 2>the significant others, the neighbors, and so forth. Then it

44
00:03:49.120 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 2>brings about stressors, and these stressors add to the stress

45
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>in their lives, and that stress becomes an overload which

46
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>causes people to break down mentally, physically, emotionally. And then

47
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 2>the mental health issues come anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and

48
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 2>different and other different things. Oh yeah, that's exactly how

49
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 2>it happens. But see, most people in the world do

50
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>not understand that connection. So I've told you several times

51
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 2>about a book that I've written, and any day now

52
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you more details about it so you

53
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>can go and check it out. But I talk about

54
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>all of these things in my book. People have normalized

55
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>mental health. That's why anytime someone do something the unthinkable unthinkable,

56
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the first thing.

57
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>You hear is mental health issues. You hear that about

58
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of.

59
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Non black people. When it's black people, you rarely hear

60
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 2>it's mental health. They're just crazy and savages because that's

61
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>what people have been taught to believe. But when it's

62
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 2>non black people, oh, it's mental health. No, it's stressed overload.

63
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>They caused them to succumb to the already negative thoughts

64
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 2>that they were having because they were unhappy people, already

65
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 2>unheal hearts and minds.

66
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Then they have these negative.

67
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Thoughts and they succumb to those negative thoughts because they

68
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 2>gave power to those negative thoughts.

69
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>You know how they gave power.

70
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>They gave power to those negative thoughts listening to other

71
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>negative people.

72
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Or researching negative things to do.

73
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>So if you're researching things, you're thinking about what you're researching,

74
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>you're developing negative feelings behind all of those.

75
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Negative thoughts, and you keep giving power.

76
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 2>The more you think about it, the more you think

77
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>about it, the more you think about it, regardless of

78
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>what it is, until you succumb to it. And now

79
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>people want to say mental health issues.

80
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 1>For people.

81
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Some people they were just struggling beforehand because of unhealed

82
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 2>hearts and minds. You have to understand the connection. Any

83
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>person alive can have PTSD. Some people are so ignorant

84
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to the fact that they think you have to be

85
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>in the military just to have PTSD.

86
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Anything can cause you PTSD. You can be traveling down

87
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.519
<v Speaker 1>the street and have a near.

88
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.199
<v Speaker 2>A wreck or have almost you know, a near accident

89
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>and it was so traumatic for you that could cause PTSD.

90
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>You can see somebody else have a rate that could

91
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 2>cause PTSD. You can see a dog getting ran over

92
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.399
<v Speaker 2>that to cause you PTSD. There are so many ways

93
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>a person can develop PTSD. But it's such a grandiose

94
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>thing these days, or I have PTSD when people really,

95
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>really really they don't.

96
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>They don't like going around saying I got PTSD.

97
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying so it's lifestyle. It's experiences. The bottom

98
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 2>line of it all experiences bad experiences that causes people.

99
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 1>To have.

100
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>PTSD and other mental health issues. Stress can be good

101
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:31.120
<v Speaker 2>or bad. Good stress can become bad and I'll give

102
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>you an example. You're getting married.

103
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.159
<v Speaker 1>That's great. It could be stressful, but that's great.

104
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 2>But then all of the things leading up to the

105
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 2>wedding can make that good stress bad. So there everything

106
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have to come from trauma, is what I'm trying

107
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 2>to tell you. That can become stressful. It does not

108
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>have to come from trauma. But most people, it's trauma

109
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>or some bad experiences that they have not dealt with,

110
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>not cope with, not allowed to heal and release those things.

111
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 2>In stad they go through life powering it on, you know,

112
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 2>powering other things on top of what they have not

113
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 2>dealt with already, and it just becomes too much to bear.

114
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 2>And we've all heard of people who got old in

115
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>their seventies and eighties and then they committed suicide. Still

116
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>went to their grades talking about stuff that happened when

117
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>they were kids.

118
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.679
<v Speaker 1>The past don't hold on to us. We hold on

119
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 1>to the past through our memories, our thoughts.

120
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 2>For people empower those memories that give so much power

121
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to those memories to make them feel like they're living

122
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>those things currently when it's been over for years and

123
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>years and years and years, but they still feel the

124
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 2>strong effects because that's how much power they give to

125
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:25.559
<v Speaker 2>those thoughts and then lifestyles, drugging alcohol into dark side,

126
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, the dark side, doing very nefarious things in

127
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 2>toxic relationships. All of it and much much more can

128
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 2>lead to mental breakdown. A person don't have to totally

129
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>break down to develop depression or to develop anxiety or

130
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 2>suicidal thoughts, etc.

131
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Etc.

132
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:57.320
<v Speaker 2>But it's just too many people in the world today

133
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 2>claiming mental health health issues.

134
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Proudly, and especially on the jobs.

135
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:22.840
<v Speaker 2>So many people, unfortunately a lot of people use mental

136
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 2>health issues as an advantage, especially at work, you know,

137
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 2>getting reasonable accommodations and things like that. And you know,

138
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 2>I believe that when people do things the wrong way,

139
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 2>it always comes back to you some way, somehow, in

140
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 2>some form of fashion. But it just goes to show

141
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.399
<v Speaker 2>you the mindsets that people have.

142
00:11:55.879 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>There are so many more than not people. So many

143
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>people love unheal hearts and minds, and.

144
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Because of it, they go through life and oftentimes make

145
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 2>life much much harder than it needs to be because

146
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>of what's already there that has not been dealt with.

147
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 2>And then they compile life people things on top of

148
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 2>what's there, and then you get these different mental health

149
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 2>issues that people normalize.

150
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.399
<v Speaker 1>You should not be.

151
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Comfortable or complacent with having something.

152
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 1>That you know you was not born with.

153
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I know, in life things happen and things change and

154
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>this and that, but you should not normalize it. It

155
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:02.879
<v Speaker 2>should be something that you're working on to become better,

156
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to get rid of it, not something that you're just

157
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 2>taking medication to mask, because medication is not fixing what's wrong.

158
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 1>It's masking what's wrong, and it only make things.

159
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Worse in other areas you take your medication, you begin

160
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 2>to have other issues because that's what medication do. It

161
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.840
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of side effects. So people normalize mental

162
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 2>health the different issues, and they just accept it, embrace it,

163
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>and never try to be better when you should always

164
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:55.679
<v Speaker 2>try to live your life without taking medication.

165
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Now though that.

166
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Necessary sometimes, but I'm saying with things like this, you

167
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 2>know you wasn't born with it, so you need to

168
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 2>try to work to get passed whatever it is that

169
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 2>caused you to have those issues in the first place.

170
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 2>And medication will only keep you in the same state

171
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>of mind. It will not make you better. It may

172
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:25.679
<v Speaker 2>make you feel better because you're not feeling the anxiety,

173
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>the depression or whatever it is at the moment, because

174
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the medication is masking it. But if that's all you're

175
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 2>doing is.

176
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Taking medication, you're normalizing the condition. You've accepted it, you're.

177
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Embracing it, and you normalize it, you become so comfortable

178
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:56.399
<v Speaker 2>with that condition, and you just take medication pop pills,

179
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.200
<v Speaker 2>pop pills every time you feel the symptom, pop pills,

180
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>pop pills. But that's not fixing the problem. And that

181
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.480
<v Speaker 2>is the societies we're living in. All around the world,

182
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 2>people have normalized anxiety, depression, bipolar, all kinds of things.

183
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.879
<v Speaker 1>When they was not born with those conditions.

184
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>All my life, all my adult life, I've dealt with

185
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>people with issues all my adult life. Any position I've

186
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 2>ever held, I've dealt with people from all walk of

187
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.639
<v Speaker 2>life with issues, mental health issues.

188
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Or issues of stress. I think I know what I'm

189
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about.

190
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I've had many, many years of experience, many many years,

191
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:17.120
<v Speaker 2>at least thirty for sure, hands down at least thirty.

192
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.519
<v Speaker 2>That's why I can talk about so many different things

193
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:25.639
<v Speaker 2>because I've had so many experiences. I've dealt with so

194
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 2>many people with their own experiences in and out of country.

195
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Male female adolescent teenager elderly in different environments such as corrections,

196
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 2>mental health, psychiatric hospitals, in school detention centers, juveniles.

197
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

198
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>From all walks of life, all walks of life, military, civilian.

199
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 2>So I think I can speak on it. And I've

200
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:11.400
<v Speaker 2>seen so much. I've seen people use and abuse their

201
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.960
<v Speaker 2>labels like it's nothing, and I've seen people wear them

202
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.119
<v Speaker 2>like badges of arm honor.

203
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to share.

204
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 2>What I'm seeing, what I'm hearing when it comes to

205
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>people normalizing mental health issues, and I mean people from

206
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the top down, celebrities, politicians, you name it, own them

207
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:48.920
<v Speaker 2>normalizing it.

208
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.039
<v Speaker 1>When you shouldn't.

209
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>That should never be an option in your life to

210
00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:02.440
<v Speaker 2>normalize it. Making pills for the rest of your life,

211
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>not working on the problem, just taking pills to masket

212
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.200
<v Speaker 2>is not benefiting you, keeping you in the same negative mindset.

213
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 1>And that's it. That's all I'm saying.

214
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I pray you get something out of it, or someone

215
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:16.920
<v Speaker 2>gets something out of it.

216
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for sharing, because I know you're gonna share.

217
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you so much for stopping by and listening.

218
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:29.759
