The Modern Warrior Brotherhood | Beating Boredom Induced Depression (B.I.D) In Men

You will become that which you predominantly think about. www.bethefather.co.uk Your mind is like the operating system of a computer. It runs programs.  That is its job. It doesn't care what program it is running, it will run it. Even if that program is a virus and will destroy the computer, it will run it. Your thoughts are what you use to program your mind... What are you programming in your mind? That is what you will get as a result in life.

In this episode I talk about the reasons why I started the brotherhood. From my attempted suicide to my struggle to heal and onto how I sorted my life out and decided to start the brotherhood. Todays episode will help you understand why you feel the way you do and what you need to do to heal. 

Modern life is HARDER on men than it was 200 years ago. Before the industrial revolution a man had a trade, a place in society and a purpose. Most men today are working soul sucking jobs. This is what is causing depression.

The root cause of Boredom Induced Depression is DENIAL OF TRUE SELF. B.I.D is NOT: A chemical imbalance in the brain. Repetitive negative thoughts Feeling sad all the time. These are all SYMPTOMS of B.I.D. Just like a broken leg is NOT: Inflammation of the muscles… Pain… Bleeding… These are all SYMPTOMS of the ROOT CAUSE which is a broken leg. In the same way you cannot CURE a broken leg with pain killers, you cannot CURE B.I.D with medication. The pain killers may TAKE AWAY THE PAIN, but it will not mend the bone… In the same way, the method that you use to take away the pain of your B.I.D, be it anti depressants, alcohol, risk taking behaviour or addictions, will not CURE the depression, only will it NUMB the symptoms. So if we want to CURE B.I.D we must look at what the ROOT CAUSE is… Which is DENIAL OF TRUE SELF. It is the systematic and repetitive way of life that denies yourself your true wants and needs. Think about your day to day to life. How much time do you spend doing what you want? How much time do you spend doing things you HAVE TO DO not what you WANT to do? Seriously, do you actually WANT to get out of bed and go to your job or do you do it because you HAVE to? Do you actually WANT to fight with your wife? Do you WANT to be short tempered with your children? Do you WANT to have to see those people that you don’t like? How much of your life is dictated by others while you leave behind your own wants and desires? So the question is this… WHY ARE YOU SPENDING SO MUCH TIME DOING WHAT YOU DON’T WANT?

Why is B.I.D so difficult to see, even for the man that is suffering from it? Why is it that we allowed ourselves, as men, to get to the point where we can't even recognise our own depression because being depressed has become normal. This is the "new normal" the depressed man. Now is the time to speak up about this.  Boredom Induced Depression is NOT NORMAL.

Do you suffer from B.I.D? Chances are, if you are a man, you are married with children and have a full time job that you do. In this first episode we will look at the 3 major signs of B.I.D and why you have them.
