Today's episode is with Mr. Brad Bonar from THE 1Degree of Separation https://www.1degreeofseparation.life
*I am sincerely sorry for the shitty sound quality on my end in the beginning of this episode:(
That is on me and that's what I get for using public WiFi ! But the good news is that Mr. Brad comes in real Clear! So ignore me like usual and just listen to him!!! 
BRAD AND HIS TEAM ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS! 1Degree of Separation is an organization that provides quote:"A comedy show and suicide prevention program aimed at ending the stigma of mental illness.
Depression has one degree of separation: if you don't suffer, then someone you know does. 
We aim to bring dialogue, awareness, and acceptance for those suffering from depression through laughter and vulnerability. We laugh at the dark stuff, because laughter releases the pain. We talk about depression because no one should feel shame.
With an army of comedians, we hope to kill the stigma of depression and share stories of hope, happiness and triumph."
They also have the genius 5 questions:5 Questions
People really do have the best intentions when they offer suggestions to a person living with depression but a lot of suggestions are not helpful and can actually be more hurtful. 
Start a conversation with these 5 Questions. They are non-judgemental questions that are safe to answer. If you really want to know how to love others with this illness, you have to ask and then listen to understand. Then your action will speak love to them.
If you are living with depression, be sure to ask yourself these questions as well. Have answers to these questions and use those answers to get help from your loved ones that might not understand what you’re going through.
1) What does your depression feel like?2) What do others do that make it worse?3) What do others do that make it better?4) What do you do that makes it worse?5) What do you do that makes it better?

Cam's message remains the same y'all:
***BE FIRM, BE FAIR, BE THERE, & CARE!!!***
My last 7cents to y'all:)I want to reiterate what I said about not choosing a permanent decision for a temporary problem...it was inspired by General Neller's 2019 Mental Wellness letter:********"Let me be clear up front, there is zero shame in admitting one's struggles with life - trauma, shame, guilt, or uncertainty about the future - and asking for help.

"Introduced in Senate (03/22/2023)Not Just a Number ActThis bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to take specified actions related to its suicide prevention services.Specifically, the bill requires the VA to annually submit a National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report and publish it on a VA website.The VA must also analyze and report on which benefits and services from the VA have the greatest impact on suicide prevention among veterans.The VA must collaborate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop a toolkit for state and local coroners and medical examiners that contains best practices for accurately identifying and reporting suicide deaths of veterans. The toolkit must be available on a publicly available website, and the VA and CDC must conduct outreach to state and local agencies to promote the availability and use of the toolkit.The VA must review the findings and recommendations of the Government Accountability Office's management review of the VA's mental health and suicide prevention services and study the feasibility and advisability of creating a suicide prevention office within the VA."

For example, I no longer obese ...so would I call myself fat still? Or I don't drink anymore, but I still call myself an alcoholic? To me, I say no...but There's layers to this outlook, but I think Coach Kevin is onto something big --especially given how strong the power of our self talk is. But make no mistake that thing inside you and me that drives us to be excessive... well it can be a super power or an Achilles heel...we just gotta channel "it" in a best direction. That's what's worked for me at least and I know it has helped many others https://youtu.be/I1ULe9ojnKM?si=aynehvNYVXsQbmru Coach Kev went onto explain the analogy in Superman II when General Zod and his creepy ass friends got sentenced to being stuck in those floating mirrors...similarly, we too do the some things in trapping ourselves in a victim's mentality or a "stinking thinking" type mentality --that's what the great Zig Ziglar used to call it:) Clip of Superman II Zod and them getting stuck: https://youtu.be/NWoyRlPOb3Q?si=rUVK8G9zOKpfcfXc Here's Clip of Zig explaining "Stinking Thinking"...

My last 7cents to y'all:) I want to reiterate what I said about not choosing a permanent decision for a temporary problem...it was inspired by General Neller's 2019 Mental Wellness letter: ******** "Let me be clear up front, there is zero shame in admitting one's struggles with life - trauma, shame, guilt, or uncertainty about the future - and asking for help. It is not okay, however, to IGNORE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH to the point where you are not able to make sound decisions or end up Taking an irreversible action that leaves behind teammates, family, and those who care about and depend on you." #likeitornotweareallwegot #healthyoutlets

Today, AGAIN FOLKS, I run my fat mouth on a multitude of subjects! Here's the link to the MARINE CORPS WARFIGHTER MENTAL WELLNESS READINESS PLAYBOOK: https://www.manpower.usmc.mil/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-USMC-Warfighter-Mental-Readiness-Playbook.pdf Here's my recent expression in being sober for 5 years: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/DZeszXzax8Pbzr8Y/?mibextid=WC7FNe For any of my young ones: if you want purpose, consider real SERVICE! Please also note I NOT A RECRUITER and I am so Not "special" by any means...far from it! I know I have to still "earn it" every single Day! I've never arrived nor have I ever "made it"! Ever! None of us have! Stay humble, stay hungry! Much love to you all! I hope this honest expression can help Point some young person to the right direction and onto a better path. ***I'm not a recruiter!!! I'm just a recovering "lost kid" who found purpose and a tribe to belong to!!! The key message in all of this is this: "Purpose isn't found in your feed, it's revealed in your fight," if you want to find purpose & belonging to a common cause through service to our Nation as United States Marines, give it some consideration! See this video👇 https://www.dvidshub.net/video/766915/battle-belong-30-second Towards the end of this episode, I ramble about that post I made in April that was inspired by this CWO3 Marine Warrior that I 100% relate to 👇 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/GGxxifbjqLq119E7/?mibextid=UalRPS Big item is always this: 988!!!

It is not okay, however, to IGNORE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH to the point where you are not able to make sound decisions or end up Taking an irreversible action that leaves behind teammates, family, and those who care about and depend on you." #likeitornotweareallwegot #healthyoutlets This Too Shall Pass!!!
