Day 183 - It's Just So Cute It Hurts

Day 176 - Artist and the Adult Update

Things are going well! Well does not mean perfect :)

Day 174 - Brandy Passed

Today, we had to put down Brandy. She's been Jessica's dog since Jessica was twenty - basically, Jessica's entire adult life. Edward tells the story of how it went, but in case that might be too intense for you, the short version of it is: Brandy's last moments were tasting a delicious cheeseburger that was just for her (ok, we gave Chloe a little), and slipping into a lovely nap while her favor...

Day 173 - Adulting Day 2 - MISTAKES WERE MADE

Quick note: huge thanks go out to Suzanne for doing the lion's share of the work on the grant proposal for the support group - we didn't mention her by name lest the apocalyptic bands of maniacs find her. Sorry bout the end of the world everybody!

Day 172 - ADULTING DAY 1

I think it's workkkinnggg....

Day 171 - The Artist and the Adult

We actually recorded this last night, but forgot to upload in the 20-hr push to get the double videos out on Friday. This is a vulnerable video to post, because it's easier in a way to just keep trying to do things the way you've always done them rather than admit that your process needs an overhaul. It's also a bit scary to make it semi public, but that was kind of the point of the behind the s...

Day 170 - THE FINISH LINE

Almost there, everybody.  Almost there.  Thank you for all your support.

If you have any songs you like to listen to when you feel down, suggest them in the comments below!  Jessica is putting together the ultimate "feelin' blue" playlist.

Day 169 — Where We’re Headed

Day 168 - Your Feedback Requested

Rough cut of the Depression Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZvfvUB9Xes

Today I also learned that my camera reverses my image when I'm shooting, so when I point to the corner of the screen at 1:14, I'm ...

Day 167 - Misery Loves Company (Two videos now!)

Content warning for some minor depression/suicide discussion. THIS WEEK WILL BE OVER SOON WE PROMISE.

Day 166 part 2: Post-Parlay Depression

 (The title is supposed to be a reference to "after talking about depression." Not totally sure we got away with that one)

Content warning: very light mention of suicide in this piece (Ronnie Edwards from Game Theory).

Edward and Jessica talk about recording his experiences with depression. 

Vlog Day 166 — Edward’s turn

Day 155: Depression (content warning in the description)

Content warning for depression, suicide (not mine!), anxiety, etc.

Edward talks openly about having dropped into a heavy depression in the past few days, including his reaction to the news about Ronnie Edwards' suicide (Ronnie was an editor at Game Theory when Edward ran the editing team)

EDIT: Edward here - just so you guys know, I've been depressed before, so this isn't a dangerous or un...

Day 153 — Peer Specialist Training, Day Two

Just...go read the Behind the Brains chat on Discord. Trust me. 😂 (if you can see this video, you should have access to it, let me know if you aren’t on Discord yet & need help)<br><br>Also, I didn’t get kicked out of class, I got kicked out of the building because they were closing. Which, yes, SHOULD have indicated to me that maybe I should leave the parking lot too, buuuu...

And while you’re at it, work with your partner’s brain, too!
