Episode !45-My Journey That Almost Ended From Suicide..How
Anxiety and Fear Ran My Life..
This is going to the most vulnerable
episode Ive published yet. The discusion
of mental health is an all to familiar topic in the art
world and glass community. Substance abuse,
Anxiety, Depression and Guilt are just a few of the
experiences that Ive had to deal with personally for most of my
life. Just this past year I made the
conscious decision to no longer let this steer
my life. As we all know fight or flight is a real reaction
and typically my responses have come from panic and
fear. The immediate reaction to a stimulus whether an argument, a
phone call from a creditor or a broken relationship has caused me
to make irrational decisions in my life. Ive had a
long term affair that lasted over two
years, Ive lied and cheated friends and family
to cover up a immense amount of guilt i
was experiencing in many areas of my life that all
stemmed from irrational decisions and actions taken based
on those decisions.
