*I am sincerely sorry for the shitty sound quality on my end in the beginning of this episode:(


That is on me and that's what I get for using public WiFi !

But the good news is that Mr. Brad comes in real Clear!

So ignore me like usual and just listen to him!!! 


BRAD AND HIS TEAM ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS!

1Degree of Separation is an organization that provides quote:

"A comedy show and suicide prevention program aimed at ending the stigma of mental illness.


Depression has one degree of separation: if you don't suffer, then someone you know does.


We aim to bring dialogue, awareness, and acceptance for those suffering from depression through laughter and vulnerability. We laugh at the dark stuff, because laughter releases the pain. We talk about depression because no one should feel shame.


With an army of comedians, we hope to kill the stigma of depression and share stories of hope, happiness and triumph."


They also have the genius 5 questions:

5 Questions


People really do have the best intentions when they offer suggestions to a person living with depression but a lot of suggestions are not helpful and can actually be more hurtful.


Start a conversation with these 5 Questions. They are non-judgemental questions that are safe to answer. If you really want to know how to love others with this illness, you have to ask and then listen to understand. Then your action will speak love to them.


If you are living with depression, be sure to ask yourself these questions as well. Have answers to these questions and use those answers to get help from your loved ones that might not understand what you’re going through.


1) What does your depression feel like?

2) What do others do that make it worse?

3) What do others do that make it better?

4) What do you do that makes it worse?

5) What do you do that makes it better?

Cam's message remains the same y'all:


***BE FIRM, BE FAIR, BE THERE, & CARE!!!***




My last 7cents to y'all:)

I want to reiterate what I said about not choosing a permanent decision for a temporary problem...it was inspired by

General Neller's 2019 Mental Wellness letter:

********

"Let me be clear up front, there is zero shame in admitting one's struggles with life - trauma, shame, guilt, or uncertainty about the future - and asking for help. It is not okay, however, to IGNORE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH to the point where you are not able to make sound decisions or end up

Taking an irreversible action that leaves behind teammates, family, and those who care about and depend on you."
