Speaker 1: Checking for today, and had two bad days. Today's better.

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: My two bad days, though, were you were really low

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: and in the gray. And it was weird though, because

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: I started the day really really high and in the blue,

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: and then I just crashed and nothing prompted it that

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: I could think of. I try now to sit and

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: write down what may have prompted it, and a lot

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: of times I'm successful in that, And then when I

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: write it down, I could say, Okay, was this real

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: or not? And it's not real. I can actually reason

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: my way out of it. The last two days, though,

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: there wasn't nothing real. It's just listen, I suffer from

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: depression sometimes I'm me to have these days and then

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: just kind of realizing that this morning has helped me

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: get back to the blue of listen, this is how

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: life is. Doesn't mean there's something wrong with me. It's

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, not to use the cliche, but it's okay

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: not to be okay, So it's okay. Then I feel

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: like this there's nothing wrong with me, Like I feel

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: like this is just what my brain chemistry does. So

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: if you can hear me, I am kind of going

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: a long way about how I've got myself back to

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: the blue today, but the bottom line is I'm back

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: in the blue. And even yesterday, in the last two

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: days when I was in the gray, I was able

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: to have the knowledge to sit and write down or

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: at what is making me feel on the gray, and

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: nine times out of ten I'm able to see whatever

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: is making me in the gray isn't real and journal

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: my way out of it. This time it was just

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: not one of those situations. But I got up this

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: morning and realized, right, I was just one of those

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: messed up a couple of days, and I'm able to

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: shift gears and get myself back in the blue. So

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: that's where I am today. It's at a long mental

46
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: health checkup because I'm trying to make my words right

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: here because I am kind of, you know, I kind

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: of get caught up. It's like a fight. You get

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: caught to fight and you're battling and your battle and

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: you're battling and it's tiring, it's exhausting. But I love

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: to fight, so I'm kind of realizing that Also, Hey,

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: this is a different type of fight. I'm you know,

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: I usually honor. Now maybe it's time I out of

54
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: these fights. Also, I get to fight this thing, and

55
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: I get to fight it for all of us. Let's

56
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: keep walking and walk together.
