    Episode 31: What To Do When You Want To Give Up
    Oct 30 2025

    Welcome back to to Anti-Inflammatory Rhetoric. I'm trying out a new format where I take your questions and get a chance to speak to them each episode. In this episode I talk about what to do when you want to give up:

    • A new take on normalizing
    • Obligatory suicidality trigger warning, but quickly covered and on to less serious aspects
    • Test or Rest
    • Asking for support
    • Pausing or Stopping, both are ok

    Finally, visit www.eedumas.com to send me your questions, topics, or anything you'd like me to speak to on an episode! I'll keep it anonymous, and we can all find answers together.

    Episode 29: Soft Takes on Living With Depression
    May 15 2025

    I'm back to my regular soft takes, but this time on another personal note. I've dealt with depression my whole life and I wanted to share how I get by, how it gets easier, and other general soft takes. If this is too heady of a topic for you in your current headspace, please feel free to skip it.
