Mental Health..and WHAT?: Recent Episodes
Miss Faye
For those ready to delve into the HONEST topics about mental health and how it influences everything in our lives. From the uncomfortable topics, to the ones that make us laugh a little, it will all be discussed. This is an open place to get into the real issues surrounding mental health issues and also mental healthcare.
This episode was taken from a YouTube video I made after reading the book "White Fragility". If you'd prefer watching a video, you can find it on my channel OhHeyMissFaye. This is a conversation I should have had a long time ago but I'm glad I'm opening the discussion now and finding comfort in becoming a better person. If you relate to any of the points I make throughout, I would highly recommend picking up some books and doing some research and educating yourself.
This episode is for an 18 and up audience. Discussing the mental strain of sex work and how it takes a toll on your life and relationships. This is a great episode to listen to if you're considering the industry or have already joined and find it a little hard on you.
Sometimes having faith can make you feel a little...crazy. Am I right? I know I struggle with my beliefs regularly due to the way it feels and how I find my faith. Looking at both mental health and how spirituality can affect that or help that is all in this episode. I still have some more I'd like to speak on this subject, but for now here's my spiral of thoughts on my own faith and views.
This is a way more personal episode and delves into the darkness that my mental illness creates within my love life. I also talk a little about a book I finished lately, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, which helped me understand love a little better. This episode touches on suicide so be aware when you delve into this one. It gets a little deeper than some of my other episodes.
TRIGGER WARNING: do NOT listen if you have a hard time struggling with reality or paranoia. Whether you're a believer or a non-believer, some of these theories are just FUN to talk about! It's fun to see how people view the fears of the world through conspiracies, so for this episode I covered QAnon, targeted people, shadow people / shadow figures, and the backrooms! I will say the backrooms are some of my favorite to binge watch online. Let's not forget that a lot of these theories stem from mental illness and other issues related to fear. So, don't take it too seriously, but let's talk about it!
Did you see that video on Tiktok of those kids giving me the flowers? Yeah, it's ok, we're all crying. But we don't have to if we all choose to be those kind people. This episode talks a lot about how we view kindness and how we can be better about giving it more than we expect to receive it. Let's be the kindness we wish to see in the world, and it will become a better place.
Continuing the discussion from the last episode, I wanted to talk a little bit about the tension / anxiety that covid has caused. From social anxiety to the aggression we see when people go out, let's talk a little more about how it's affected our local communities / social interactions.
It's no joke that quarantine and the panic of Covid took a toll on the majority of us, but what can we do to get back to a healthy place mentally? Have you taken the time to consider how much it affected you? Let's take a look at a few things that you could improve on or add to your life to get back to...whatever normal is at this point.
Why did I start this podcast? This episode gives a little on my background and where the want to start this podcast came from!
