It's not easy
speaking out about 'This Subject'.
'The Great Unspeakable'.
'The Predicament Whose Name Shall Not Be Mentioned Despite
Suicide Rates Soaring'
By listening to the podcast, you are creating what I call 'The
Threshold Effect'.
This is the remarkable improvement in mental health that
occurs when you decide that enough is enough, and make that
appointment, book that GP, see that therapist, buy that
best-friend-for-life-when-nobody-loves-me dog, and make a bid for
freedom.
And in doing so, in taking action, you remove the stopper from
the pressure cooker that is your mind, with its 60,000 thoughts a
day, mostly negative and largely repetitive.
You invite the possibility of change.
I'll say that again,
You invite the possibility of change.
Because having kids, working in a responsible job, being a
daughter, wife and most excellent mother, can create a prison,
which makes Alcatraz and the Chateau d'If look like a play date in
the park.
Here's the thing, are you thinking your own thoughts or
society's thoughts? I'll let you ponder that one over the Christmas
break, and leave you with my newly minted Bio, one that I feel
truly expresses the essence of who I am and what I'm about.
My very best wishes for you and your dear ones this
Christmas.
