00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Now from Unbreakable, a mental health podcast. This is your

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: mental health check in. Here's Jay Glazer tapping again. Welcome

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: to another edition of Unbreakable mental health podcast with Jay Glazer,

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: and today I want to talk about problems versus mental

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: health issues. I think they're crossing over too much. What

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean by that is a lot of times now

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: we have problems, and listen when we have problems that

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: put you in the gray without a doubt. But I've

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: had friends killed themselves over problems, and problems are to

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: be solved, and problems now I think are being regarded

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: as mental health issues mental illness, and that in itself

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: is a problem, no pun intended, but it's scary. You know,

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: people are going after jobs and going after things and

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: it's not happening now, and they are letting that become

15
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: mental health issues instead of problems. Look for eleven years,

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I have a full time job, has a big problem,

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: has a lot of problems. It's a lot of rejection

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: and does that put you in the gray? Yes, But

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: there is a difference I've realized now between my mental

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: health issues of my depression and my anxiety and my problems.

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I try and separate them now, what is this right here?

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: Is this my mental I don't like to say mental illness.

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: I like to refer to it as things I've overcome.

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: But is this my mental illness or is this just

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: a problem that I gotta deal with? Problems are adversity.

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Adversity could be a gift. I want to start looking

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: at our problems of things that we can overcome. Adversity

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: we can overcome, not this is the gray of mental

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: health issues. Let's redefine what our issues are and if

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: the problems the things that we have to work on solving.

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Suicide is not a problem solver, right, Problems are things

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: that we have to get through and solve and overcome.

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: So in anti depres us and pill is not gonna

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: help me with my problems, and anti anxiety drug is

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: not gonna help me with my problems. Working at those

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: problems and working with a therapist and how to figure

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: out better problem solving skills that will help me through

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: my problems. I know it's a little diceyre gang, but

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: if we could separate them out, you might be able

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: to help us a little bit more. I appreciate you

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: guys just letting me kind of sit and spew as

42
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: I you know, as I work with my therapists and

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: that's plural therapists. I started thinking about these things and

44
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: having a team like you to be able to bounce

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: these things off of it really helps me a lot

46
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: more so I appreciate it. So let's tackle our problems,

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: and let's not let our problems become so big where

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: we can't overcome them and they become our life. Remember

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: adversity as a gift right Overcoming those problems mold who

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: we are. I appreciate you. Let's keep walking this walk together.
