About this listen

Blade shares a raw, unfiltered account of his six-month battle with severe anxiety, including a four-day stay in a psychiatric facility and his struggle with medication side effects. We explore the contradiction of having to quit almost everything in life while refusing to give up daily Mountain Dew.

• Our relationship with moderation and why some people struggle with the "just one" mentality
• The unexpected onset of panic attacks that feel like heart attacks and the emergency room experience
• Cycling through multiple antidepressants that made symptoms progressively worse
• Being committed to a psychiatric facility and the fear of never getting out
• Experiencing horrific, vivid dreams as medication side effects
• Finding your way back to normal by weaning off medications
• The surprising joy of feeling irritated after months of emotional numbness

I always appreciate your support, I am very clear in my understanding of how unclear I really am of myself
and the kaleidoscope in my head makes me laugh.
