021: On Mental Health

[skilletkorey]

I have thoroughly enjoyed being home. John and Xavier finished a project they'd been working on for awhile giving us a new kitchen table. I really enjoy watching John with the kids. He is the best dad in the world other than my daddy. Okay, so I'm biased. Who isn't when they have a fantastic father?

Another perk of being home, having the opportunity to hang out with your local radio stations. I was able to listen to Jen and her great interview. I'm so blessed to have her as a best friend best friend. She's a strong young woman who I adore. She opened up about her struggles with anxiety and panic attacks. We don't talk enough about mental health. It is so important to know that when the enemies of fear and doubt creep in that we have the ability to stand strong and it's okay to share our weaknesses. It's when we think we can do everything on our own that we fall into the pit of despair.

I can completely identify with your friend. I get anxiety and panic attacks too, so I applaud her for speaking out about it.

Finding someone you can talk them through with is a must. I don't know why so many people feel they have to do life solo.

[charlesputh]

Exactly. It's not a bad thing to want to seek help, either.

The interview is not available in my region, but like Charlie, I think I can identify. We all have our ups and downs, and it's important to speak about it. So thank you for sharing.

I totally get that. When I got home I was amazed by how many things I'd started to watch in Europe that I couldn't easily access anymore.

On the other hand, Hurricane Bianca 2 From Russia With Hate has been out since May 18 and Netflix finally made it available in Austria this Friday. I mean, how is that fair?
