Tony and I share our stories of surviving suicide attempts in an effort to break the stigma and let others know they are not alone. Every year over 700,000 people worldwide die by suicide, with many more attempting. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among those 15-29 years old. Help is available. 988 if you are in the USA.
Tony and Ruby discuss boundaries - what they are, how to set them, and how we've dealt with boundary stompers in the past.
Our experiences with early recovery, and ways to rebuild trust, and build and maintain motivation
Ruby and Tony discuss trauma... and a little of what we can learn about it from Disney
Just a Very brief intro to my new co-host. We will record a full episode next weekend!
Today my good friend, Tosh, joins me for a conversation about depression that you don't want to miss!
In this episode, my best friend, Ty, joins me to discuss the problematic aspects of 12 step programs, and why I left. (Apologies for stuttering, that happens when I'm excited). *Note: I know there will be a lot of Steppers [12 Step folks] who may take offense to this - please know, my critique of the program is not an attack on You - I Was one of you a year ago!
Another solo podcast! This one is about bullying. I am so passionate about this subject that I didn't need a guest. I share my story of being bullied as a child, the incident that caused my SAD, and adult bullies I deal with now. (Also, I mentioned stopbullying.gov in the ep, but I said .org - sorry about that! It is .gov)
In my first (and hopefully only) solo podcast, I faced my own fear/anxiety, opening up about my own history with it.
My friend, "the Ensign", joined me this afternoon for a chat about Star Trek, The Good Doctor, The Simpsons, and many other nerdy interests 🖖🏾 *there are a few mild ST: Prodigy and TGD spoilers
On this episode I have not one but TWO guests who came to educate me, and all of you, on the importance of sleep and good sleep hygiene/habits. I learned so much and I hope you all do as well! Additional information on what was discussed will be made available on my blog at https://awkwardrube.com/?p=13769
