Pete George discusses how, for several years, they began to experience more and more medical problems, which eventually led to a partial breakdown and an attempt to take their own life. They explain how their family saw the decline, but they were too deep in it to realize it themselves. The speaker goes on to say that they are doing better now but still struggle from time to time. They end with a few pointers about mental health and how to help those who are struggling. Pete describes how their life spiralled downwards after they became addicted to pain medication. They describe how they woke up one day in a rage and abused their family members. They ended up in the hospital and do not remember four days of their life. He also describes how they were close to ending their life but decided to seek help instead. They checked into a mental health unit and began to understand why they had gotten to that point. The person describes how there is a good obsession and a bad obsession and how their obsession drove people away from them. In the conversation, Peter talks about how his mental health deteriorated to the point where he had to spend time in a mental health unit. He talks about how his friends and family were supportive, but that a lot of people were offended by his behaviour and no apology could help that. He talks about how, after spending time with an occupational therapist, he realized that he needed to try to improve his mental health and that he had let a lot of people down. He talks about how there is a lot of help available for people in his situation, and that his friend David was a great help to him. Pete also discusses how he has been trying to improve his body function He talks about how he has been swimming and how he plans to go back to school and start being a  photographer again.

Pete and Colin discuss Colin's music career, with a focus on the stories that Colin tells through his music. Colin shares that he didn't begin making music until he moved to Australia and that his songs were always meant to connect with and resonate with listeners. Colin talks about how he was brought up to believe that being a man meant being an excellent drinker and how this led to him having a very violent and abusive life. He talks about how his early childhood experiences shaped his beliefs about manhood. How this has led to struggles throughout his life. Colin describes how as a result of his addiction, he became involved in criminal activity to feed his hunger. He talks about how this created tension with his parents, which eventually led to an escalation in the conflict between them. Colin describes their journey from addiction to sobriety, discussing how their mental health problems led them to become reclusive and how they eventually found help. They talk about how their experience has led them to want to help others, and how they believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel for those struggling with addiction.

A few people have seen me on The Pete George Experience and Out Of The Cave channels. In this video, I share the direction of both channels. I hope you enjoy them both.

Pete George and his guest, Don, discuss grief and loss and how to deal with it. They talk about how grief can affect mental health and how to get around it. The conversation discusses the importance of mental health and how sometimes people need to hit rock bottom in order to realise they need help. It also discusses how mental health is often seen as a destination after someone has reached out for help, rather than an illness. The speakers discuss the challenge of inherited conditioning from parents, and how it can be difficult to break free from negative patterns. They talk about the importance of emotional openness and courage in order to create space for others to do the same. The speakers discuss the idea that people tend to show their true selves more authentically at home, surrounded by people who they believe love them unconditionally. They also talk about the balance that is necessary for relationships, and how this can be seen in the relationship graph which refers to the terms bedevilment and enshrinement Don and I meet online over a decade ago I thought it was by chance I now know it was for a reason and that reason is to help others by sharing our pain and helping you understand that it is ok to have pain.  We have had many discussions and none more so than when Don and his Wife Lauren came to stay with us over Christmas and a lifelong bond was made.  We discuss the 6 myths that keep us anchored to pian, in a frank conversion.   These myths are :   Don't feel Bad  Replace the Loss  Grieve Alone  Just give it time  Be strong for others  Keep busy    As Don mentions in the conversation, we have all heard these by the age of 15.     You can read Don's story Here

Hi and welcome.    Out Of The Cave is a place for men to come and learn, feel safe and have a bit of fun along the way. We talk about some hard topics, mental illness and loss however we do make sure we have fun along the way. Through interviews and conversations, we will get you to a place you want to be, happy and enjoying life again, that's our goal.   There is one thing I believe "I don't think we need to break down the stigma of mental illness in men. Rather we need to break down the stigma that men can be vulnerable, down and in pain and that's ok."  Feel free to click the subscribe button and join the journey.

In this episode, I discuss why I withdrew from school and the logic behind that as well as discuss where I am.

Hi, and welcome to the Pete George experience. I'm Pete George and welcome to the show that I'm going to be producing on a weekly basis where not only will there be some thoughts and if you've already been to the channel and looked downstairs, there are some things on mental health, we'll be talking about them as well. But what direction I'll be taking from here on in is for the next twelve months on a weekly basis, I'll be sharing what I'm learning, going back to school. Now, going back to school, I'll be studying for a diploma in screen and media, which will focus on the production side of things. So this allows me to become a director or director of photography or cinematography in the old-fashioned ways in different other areas of filmmaking. So it's going to be a fun journey. I'm the oldest in the class, so it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun. And yeah, so make sure that you do subscribe to the channel 1s and you'll be able to see how we go, hopefully along the journey as well. I'll be able to bring in some of my fellow students and we can discuss things like films and things, our favourite directors and cinematographers and all of that, so it could become very interactive. So that's why I suggest that you subscribe ASAP because it will only be on two places and that's got to be YouTube and a podcast version of this. 1s And they both called the peak George experience. So thanks for watching the welcome video. Hope you have a great day. Always smile, and if you're in trouble, always talk to someone. If you can or reach out, there's always someone there to help you. So thanks for listening. Once again, have a great day.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tpge/message

This is a take from the full show A chat with Don Lachance. In this short, we discuss the importance of understanding that loss is cumulative and that we must become vulnerable to get the complete loss we feel.

Around the world, we all understand the special day of Mental Health. As a sufferer of mental illness, I believe that when a person asks RUOK you have entered into a social contract.

Don and I meet online over a decade ago I thought it was by chance I now know it was for a reason and that reason is to help others by sharing our pain and helping you understand that it is ok to have pain.

There are many facets to mental health in this episode I talk about the area I suffer from and have a better understanding of depression and anxiety. This is the first step is to understand if you are ready to help someone if you believe someone is struggling, there is a difference between struggling and someone suffering

Following on from our episode Social interaction is not social media I thought I would discuss my thoughts on mainstream media, whether that be print, tv or radio.If you grew up in the '70s, '80s and '90s and went to the city on the corners were the paper sellers every morning and night, who can remember the famous cries of " get your Herald", from an elderly gentleman making a quid selling the major newspapers, it still happens here in

Success is "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose".So how do we measure success in life as it will be different for everyone?

Some of you may agree some will disagree however, I feel this is true.Over time we have become dependent on talking/writing to others on various platforms and posting odd videos on holidays or special occasions.

Boxing day 2021 was the day my life changed forever.

I take a look at the minor-major parties in this election being, One Nation, Lib Dems, Katter Party and United Australian party. My thoughts are from the Sky News Mavericks session held a couple of weeks ago.

In this episode, we speak with Mark Boothman the Member for Theodore in the state parliament of Queensland Australia. Mark and I discuss how the Australian voting system works so people get a better understanding of how important their vote is.

For me ageism is real you reach a certain age, it appears to be 45, then things start to unravel, most times in an unpleasant way become unemployed, wondering what you are doing in the position you have, not getting promoted and the list goes on. Also at this point in life, there can be personal changes that affect you and how you see things in the world.
