Voting on the Psych Ward
Manage episode 443089175 series 3565544
It's 2004. An election year. Republican incumbent George W. Bush vs. John Kerry, Democratic nominee. I'm in a psych ward on November 2, with the right to vote. But when all I can think about is good vs. evil, casting a ballot turns into despair.
In this episode, I chat with guest host, Sephe, about delusion and cognitive distortion, as well as the redemptive power of human connection and empathy. We speak about the sadness of lost years, reclaiming one's past, and discovering one's gifts.
As Janine expresses her gratitude to listeners of Bipolar She, she also asks for support in keeping the podcast alive--with all those good social media clicks, likes, and follows.
