Welcome back to The Mental Lab. Today’s podcast was a much more lighthearted one. We both took Mental Health America’s potential for Mental Health Issues, including addiction, depression, personality disorders, eating disorders, and much more. We also discuss both our Song and Quote of the Week, which is ultimately our goal throughout the next week: Hakuna Matata, from The Lion King. This phrase means “no worries for the rest of your days” and it is something we plan to try to adopt in our daily life for this upcoming week. We are always looking to grow the community, doing live streams, blog and vlog postings, and interested in discussing other future based topics about helping the mental health community.

Relationships are not just about loving one another, it’s about balancing self-love while also nurturing those relationships with others. Sometimes, you become unbalanced and end up pleasing everyone but yourself and end up in a slump feeling empty. Then, sometimes, you start taking care of yourself and everyone ends up leaving you because you forgot about them and end up in a different slump feeling lonely.
Welcome back to The Mental Lab. Today’s podcast we have dived into the mechanics of how often we do two important things in relationships: self-care and nurturing relationships. We talk about some of the consequences involved in giving too much to others and being too worn out to give back to them. We also discuss romantic, sexual, and platonic relationships; Song of the Week {Forgive Myself by Sam Smith} and Quote of the Week, “There is Strength in Surviving Weakness”; and growing the community, live streaming, and other future based topics about helping the mental health community. If you are struggling or dealing with any mental health issues, we ask that you seek help and do not solely rely on our podcast or community. Our intentions are to grow community and awareness while also giving support options for others like us. You may find over 60 resources on our website, OfficialMentalLab.com/Resources for assistance that you or a loved one may need. Hope to have you join us on our journey. Enjoy!

Welcome back to The Mental Lab. Today’s podcast we have take a moment to understand how we become Masters of Deception, in regards to functioning, meaning that we “play the role” of an average, healthy human being day-to-day to protect ourselves and loved ones from believing how much we are actually struggling. We also discuss nightmares and lack of sleep, hygiene, ADHD and Bipolar misconceptions, Album of the Week {Mercury - Act 1 (2021) by Imagine Dragons} and Quote of the week. We also discussed some difficult topics including self-hatred, suicidal attempts, and other potentially triggering content.
