Addicted To People Addicted to People

I am currently saying goodbye to this particular podcast because I am beginning to new one so listen in and I’ll give you all the details

Well another dive into the depression well. I am sharing with you some of the things I’ve done to try to help myself get out of the depression, how well that’s going,what’s worked for me and I want to remind everyone over and over that 1.you should reach out and 2. there is no difference between mental illness and physical illness. you would not hesitate to go to a doctor if you broke your leg so do not hesitate to seek out a doctor when your mind is not working correctly.

Well I love you know that I suffer from major depressive disorder and that means I’m cyclical and right now I’m in the cycle of depression. I almost didn’t do the podcast because I am just you know programed to believe I should always put my best foot forward but that’s not what this podcast is about. this podcast is about being authentic and real and sharing my real experience in the hopes that it makes somebody else feel less alone.

Well this is a deep dive into the patriarchy into women’s role in the patriarchy women’s role in keeping themselves to a different standard than they keep men. I really wanna hear from people after they hear this so I’m gonna put my email here in the hopes that that is an easier way for you to get a hold of me then to be addicted to people Facebook page. nmaclaren@netzero.com

I used to always make the joke that I had to be myself because nobody else wanted to be. And I guess that’s true but it had sort of a negative connotation that being me was not all that great. And that’s how I went through most of my life, thinking that there was always something wrong with me, thinking that I needed to change in order to fit in, to find friends, to be loved, to be chosen. I could never be myself and have those outcomes. I have learned that that is a terrible way to live and a lonely way to live and you never really find your tribe that way. So let’s talk about it. All right go to my Facebook page addicted to people let me know what you think as usual and check out my new art endeavors at www.artdetrois.com

In this rather long episode (I’m sorry about that )I talk about what it’s like to grow up with narcissistic parents. Anybody who has grown up with an alcoholic has grown up with a narcissist and the kind of damage that they can do can be very deep and it can feel like it’s actually part of your personality instead of something that happened because of the environment you grew up in. I hope that you enjoy this( I know if enjoy is the right word) I hope you get something out of this and that you will ask me any questions or get a hold me on my Facebook page addicted to people and I will see you next week.
