Mark MI wordsWhat is PTSD? | Mark MI Words #mentalillness #PTSDSo I was talking to somebody a little while back and they asked me a question that surprised me, a question that I wasn't expecting, a question that I thought was self-evident to everyone. I didn't think it was a question that anybody would need to ask.But it was quite simply, what is PTSD? Today is I'm just going to dive into what PTSD means for me.

Mark MI words...for Daniel | Mark MI Words #mentalillness #PTSDIt's 2025!
To start this year, I'd like to go back to 'why'.
Why do i do this podcast?
A big part of the reason was losing my friend Daniel to suicide.
His loss inspired me to start telling my story so no-one in my sphere of influence would think that suicide is the best option (or even a 'good' option).
All suicide is preventable.

Mark MI words250th Episode | Mark MI Words #mentalillness #PTSDSo, it's been 4 years and 250 episodes.
When you have a mental illness, milestones can be an important tool to track your progress.
For me it doesn't feel like 4 years and 250 episodes. Inside my mind it's been a bleak wasteland of self-doubt and self-stigma that i have to challenge every day.
But it's been awesome. I have a record of my journey of recovery spanning for 208 weeks that I can reflect on and be proud of.
And along the way I've helped some people.

Mark MI wordsSometimes it’s best to say ‘I Can’t’ | Mark MI Words #mentalillness #PTSDIf you're like me, you often chide yourself as being lazy or overusing the phrase 'I don't want to'.
However sometimes 'I don't want to' needs to be replaced with 'I CAN'T'!
Learning that sometimes I have to say 'I can't do this' has been one of the hardest things I have to do.
I have to fight the feeling that I'm letting people down.
I need to realize that saying 'I can't' is the safest thing for me to do.

I always assumed that an introvert was basically an unmotivated extrovert. Someone who could meet social challenges the way i did if that were forced to.
I did not understand what it was like to be socially anxious or constantly unsure.
