Deconstruction became an important part of defusing anger that fueled my depression and Bipolar Disorder, complicated by the autism. I had to identify the biases and perspectives I had picked up from society and the people around me to find a way to let them go. In this episode, I deconstruct the "man" in the label of "straight white man" as a working class guy from a blue collar background.

I am not a mental health professional. I do not have any qualifications or certifications of any kind. I hope that by sharing my experiences, more mentally ill people will be empowered to step into the offices of clinicians to do the hard work that leads to mental wellness, peace, and happiness. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, as all I am is a mental patient with a microphone.

Identity is a fascinating thing. As a straight white man that grew up in a heavily conservative area, there's been a lot of social programming I was subjected to by society. Unwinding that, and the way it is weaponized against other people became an important part of creating peace with myself. In this episode, I unwrap myself regarding my whiteness.
