- For the first time in a long time I struggled this past week. I couldn't sleep. I had no energy.
For the last few days I've been thinking about taking my bipolar/antidepressant meds again, if anything just to get some solid sleep, but last night some friends let me know that our high school mate Chris passed away, and well, there it was.
On hearing this news I felt the need to find relief so I recorded this video last night. As cathartic as my Monday Morning Rants are for me I still found the need to call a friend before bed last night (you know who you are, thank you).
Thanks for sharing Justin,
one of my very good mates and mentors passed away suddenly a few years back and this weekend was his birthday. (he also left behind a daughter who was just born and man..his wife (who is also my good friend) has had a very challenging time since his passing.)
I really liked your bit about how you were talking over someone and Chris put you in line. My mate did that for me a few times in my life and its a good reminder for me to ... like u said.. 'just chill the fuck out'
Im not sure if I have bipolar myself..but of course when i go down the rabbit whole of researching bipolar/personality disorder I feel like i have some of the symptoms and signs but I dont want to identify with that label encase i use it as an excuse for myself to act up.
But thanks for the reminder. its ok not to be ok and sometimes u just gotta go through with the emotions, embrace them, act up. and hope your close family and friends are able to deal with our man periods lol .
I swear. once every 1-2 months ill be very emotional and sensitive and empathic and I fall for a bunch of cognitive bias and logical fallacies .
sorry for the shit random comment
I better get back to editing.
May the force be with you.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. It's okay not to be okay, especially after an event like this. Take care. Looking forward to next week's rant.
Big love! Reach out if you want an ear bro ❤️
A heartbreaking tale mate, life definitely can be too short sometimes. And take care of yourself Justin, sounds like you're on top of it but keep that watchful eye.
