00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Now from Unbreakable, a mental health podcast. This is your

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: mental health check in. Here's Jay Glazer tapping again. Welcome

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: back to Unbreakable, a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer. Today,

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk about guilt. Those of us who

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: have mental health issues. Oh my goodness, do we suffer guilt.

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: A lot of my guilt comes from me feeling like

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm a bad person. And the narrative that my brain

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: paints for me is you must be a bad person

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: for you to have this kind of suffering. It's not true.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: You know it was bad. Hitler's bad. It was bad,

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: people start wars, people who have genocide. Rapists are bad, right,

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: We're not. My mom asked me recently what kind of

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: pain I was in, and I said, my guilt makes

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: me feel like I'm the worst person who's ever lived. Said,

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, how often you feel that way? I said,

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: every night I go to bed, those ten minutes I

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: laid my head on my pillow at night, or the

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: worst periods of my day, because that's what the roommates

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: in my head start telling me. And I have this

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: guilt like in this horrible person, because hey must be

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: my punishment, my penance. We're being this bad person. I

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: finally have realized that's not the case. I finally realize

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm not a bad person. I'm flawed. Sure, I'm in pain. Yes,

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: I have my battles or my demons. But I'm not

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: a bad person. And it's something I have to train

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: myself to remember something. I want us all to start

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: giving ourselves a break, start practicing self forgiveness and compassion

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: for ourselves every day. Now I practice compassion for myself.

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Practice doesn't come easily. I practice compassion for myself and

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: I start convincing myself I'm not a bad person. Just

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: because we do something wrong doesn't mean we're a bad person.

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: We're not God. We're not perfect, right only God's perfect,

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: not us, So we don't do something perfect. It's okay.

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: God expects us to be human. Humans are flawed. It's okay.

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Let's show ourself compassion and try and work on what

36
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: we need to fix to start showing yourself compassion. We're

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: not bad. Love, y'all, Let's keep walking this walk together.
