I’m Taking a Break

On By Acceptable MadnessIn Other, PodcastLeave a comment

I love this podcast, and that’s why I think it’s time for me to take a step back for a little while. I just haven’t been feeling up to making new episodes, and with everything going on in my life, I’m just exhausted all the time. I want to take some time to step back and get into a better headspace, and I think that one way for me to do that is by taking some responsibility off my plate, and considering the fact that this is my 124 episode, I’ve had this responsibility for quite some time. I’m not giving up on the podcast; in fact, I have a lot planned for the future, but for right now, I just really need a break so that I’m excited about all the plans I have when I have more time to do them. I appreciate each and every one of you for listening. I’ll be back soon, but I don’t know if soon is a few weeks or a few months. Thanks, and I’ll talk to you later.

A Week in the Life of Scott McKinney

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

This week’s episode is going to be a relaxing one. Well, at least I hope so! I just sat back and talked about my life, what’s been going on, and how I’m coping with the everyday stresses of existing. I cover topics from school, to work, and even Halsey’s swollen butt. With range of topics like that, I’m sure it has something for everyone! I hope you enjoy!

Making a Plan: When to Do It and When to Stick to It

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Planning might be the most boring topic in the world, but it’s still something that needs to be talked about. Planning is important in all walks of life, but I think that it’s especially important when you struggle with mental illness. It helps you get a grasp on what is going on around you and put your life events into perspective, while also giving you some self-motivation to keep moving forward. That said, it can also seem like a bad thing when you don’t feel the motivation to do what you’ve set out to do. That’s what I talk about in this episode, and I hope you enjoy it!

How Mastering Chess Can Improve Your Mental Health

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Admittedly, I’m no master of chess, so I don’t know if this is true. That said, I’ve spent a lot of my free time playing chess recently and trying to become better at it. What I find crazy is how many parallels I’ve found between the game of strategy and my mental health. Maybe it’s because I have an unhealthy obsession of the game and think about it all the time or maybe it’s because there are actually parallels. No matter the reason, that’s what I’m going to talk about this episode. I hope you enjoy! 🙂

Your Mental Health and College

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

This is something that I think about every day, but I decided that it’s finally time to make an episode about it. College is brutal. I don’t care how smart you are, college is hard for a few reasons. I hated my undergrad because I didn’t handle being away from home and having no friends well. It was also hard because I had nooooo clue what I wanted to do with my life. My masters is hard because it’s a lot of work, but it’s also more satisfying than my undergrad, even though I’m juggling this and a full-time job. My doctorate (which I haven’t gone for) feels like an inevitability, and I honestly can’t wait for it. So, how did I go from hating college to diving deeper? Well, I’m glad you asked! That’s what this episode is about. I hope you like it.

How to Deal with Burnout

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

What better time is there to talk about burnout than when you’re burnt out? In this episode, I talk about the constant exhaustion I’ve been feeling that’s been brought on by work, personal issues, school, raising two amazing little pets, and maintaining basic functional necessities like laundry and cooking. You know that feeling that comes around that makes you want to procrastinate everything you do while also giving you an unusual addiction to Tetris and Chess? Okay, the latter part might just be me. Nonetheless, this episode is about burnout. I hope you enjoy it.

Your Mental Illness Doesn’t Define You

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Knowing that your mental illness doesn’t define you isn’t a novel concept. Each and every one of us is a unique and special person, but some of us struggle with mental illness. Even though sometimes our lives are dictated by what’s going on in our heads, such as a lack of motivation to do something in our everyday lives and an inability to get out of bed, we’re more than the thoughts that go through our heads. I think this is an important concept for anyone to know, but those that don’t struggle with mental health won’t get it until those that are struggling with it internalize it themselves. That’s why in this episode, I talk about how I’m so much more than my mental illness.

The Holiday/COVID-19 Conundrum

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

I could tell you what everyone else in the world is telling you about the holidays. I could say that going to see your family is terrible because we are in the midst of a pandemic, and that it’s irresponsible to put you and your family in danger. I could also say that you should go see your family because you only live once and seeing them is more important than following the precautions assigned to you because of a pandemic. There are many things that I could tell you, but what I’m going to settle for is telling you how these decisions can affect your mental health, because I know they’ve affected mine.

This Episode is About Nothing

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Okay, so it’s not so much about “nothing” per se, but it’s about feeling relaxed, not stressed, and for a brief moment, like I wasn’t depressed. I had the pleasure of finishing two of my masters classes today (the day before this was released,) and although I start another tomorrow, for a short 7 or so hours, I didn’t have any responsibilities. Sure, I had to do a few things like get dinner, walk Halsey, and play with Leia, I didn’t have any overarching things to do for once. I felt completely and totally uninhibited and I could do what I wanted without feeling guilty. I took that time to play Mario Party with me beautiful fiancée, spend time with my pets, and reflect on why this feeling of “nothing” happened, and how I can replicate it moving forward.

Organizing Your Priorities

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Hey – you there! Thanks for joining me for another episode of the podcast. This week, I talk about figuring out priorities. What inspired me to talk about it is the fact that I (along with everyone else in the world) have a lot of stuff on my plate that I either need or want to do, and I don’t have enough time to do it all. This caused me to really sit down and figure out what I needed to do to be most successful in the future, and what will make me happier over the duration of my life. With that came a lot of soul searching and thoughts about every aspect of what makes me who I am, what I should do in the future to make me happier, and how my recent revelations can help you in your future as well.

You know, for a marketing professional, you’d think I’d pick a sexier name for my podcast episodes.

Can You Work So Hard That You Forget About Your Depression?

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Have you ever thought about diving into something and immersing yourself so completely so that you don’t have to worry about the thoughts going through your head? If so, I did it for you and learned that it’s not a great thing to do, so I don’t recommend it. I’ve been very busy with everything going on in my life that it’s hard for me to focus on the stuff that I know makes me feel happier, such as talking with my friends and family, writing, making content for Acceptable Madness, and more. This last week has amounted to me working almost exclusively on my masters classes and other daily responsibilities, and although I was able to get everything done in time, the act of putting my mental health on the backburner to focus on it was hard… and putting it frankly, it sucked. So, to answer the main question of this episode – no, you can’t work so hard that you forget about your depression. In this episode, I dive deeper into why I think that is.

Acceptable Madness’ 100th Birthday!

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

It’s been a long road – after a little over 2 years, it’s time to celebrate Acceptable Madness’ 100th birthday. In that short amount of time, I’ve talked for hours and hours about different topics such as loss, friendship, sleep, rejection, and so much more. I’ve told you more about myself than most of my closest friends know about me, and I’ve uncovered more about how my mind works in that time than I ever could have imagined. In this episode, I’d like to talk about how much I’ve changed over that time, how I feel about it, and what I’d like to see moving forward. This episode is special for me, not just because of it being triple digits, but because it means I’ve been able to start something and follow through with it, no matter the challenges that life (and that pesky depression) throws at me. I hope that I’ve helped you through whatever struggles you’re having, and hope that the lessons I’ve shared with you will keep you moving forward through life with optimism and strength, because life is tough, but you’re tougher. Thanks for listening, and I can’t wait to talk to you in another 100 episodes!

How Does Depression Affect Love?

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Love and depression are like potato chips and chocolate; they seem like they shouldn’t go together but they’re actually a magical combination. Huh? Only I like chocolate-covered potato chips and most people think it’s weird? Oh… the more you know I guess. What I mean is that love and depression, although many people would think they don’t mesh, they actually do and in a perfect, weird kind of way. Even though you might not feel love in the traditional sense – full of hearts and smiles fluttering across your face – I’m sure you feel it in different ways. No matter how you feel love and other strong emotions that are special to you, just know that they’re real, they matter, and even if you feel emotions differently than some others, it doesn’t mean you’re an unfeeling robot. I can say that with confidence because I am a recovering unfeeling robot. Listen to this episode of the podcast to learn more about my thoughts on how depression affects love in your everyday life.

Looking Forward to the Next…

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

The next what, you may ask? Well, the next… anything! It’s not always easy to keep pushing forward through whatever you’re dealing with. Life can be a bit bipolar, so sometimes it’ll treat you like royalty, and other times it’ll do it’s best to keep you down. When it’s trying to keep you down, I think it’s best to find something in the world that makes you excited, whether it’s a TV show, new video game release, or the fact that you’re having chicken salad for dinner (which I’m having on Wednesday, so I’m pretty stoked.) There are so many things in the world and your future that you can look forward to, so let’s take a dive into what they are, and how you can use them to push through the dark times.

When Your Motivation Takes a Vacation

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

We all know the feeling. You feel inspiration to chase something new and exciting in your life, and the second you get ready to work on it, the motivation disappears. This thing that was driving you mere seconds ago is gone, and now you feel empty and directionless, a fleeting feeling in its place. That’s what this episode is about. I talk about what happens when the motivation vanishes without the courtesy of saying goodbye, and you’re left with nothing but the desire to lay in bed and eat chips.

Taking a Much Needed Break

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Taking a break seems like it should be such an easy thing to do. You just… do that thing that makes you feel relaxed, right? But it’s not always that easy. That thing that makes you relaxed might not be accessible, you might be feeling too down to do it, or you might simply not know what that thing is supposed to be. Well, I struggle to figure out how to relax sometimes too, and that’s what this episode is about. Listen to this week’s episode, where I talk about what relaxing is to me, the stress of not being able to relax when you need to, and I attempt a weird analogy about a skateboarder on a halfpipe, even though I’ve never skateboarded a day in my life.

Bullet by Hollywood Undead

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

This week, I wanted to try something a little different. Instead of talking about what’s going on with me and my life, I talk about the song Bullet, by Hollywood Undead, and what I believe the band was talking about when they wrote it. It’s a song that’s all about suicide, the implications of it, and what it meant to the character/person that was singing it. My thoughts definitely aren’t written in stone, and I hope that while you listen to it, you find some areas that you disagree with, because I’d love to hear your opinions on it! I hope you like it!

How to Manage Your Stress

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Stress isn’t an easy thing to manage. It’s one of life’s many “things” that seem to beat all rational, and prevent you from thinking clearly, figuring out what you want, and feeling better. This week, I talk about my approach to managing my stress. My system may not necessarily work for everyone, but it works pretty well for me the majority of the time, so maybe it can work for you, too. I hope that something in here can help you out and make the rest of your week a little easier.

Lessons From the Avatar

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

I’ve been watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, and through all of the awesome fighting and world building, the character that sticks out most to me is Uncle Iroh. The once great Fire Nation General turned tea-loving mentor is a complex man, and no matter the situation, he always brings the calming presence of wisdom. In this episode, I talk about some of the quotes he had throughout the show, and how applicable they are to our lives on the outside. I never thought I’d make an episode of a mental health podcast about a children’s TV show, but hey, I think it turned out pretty great! Thanks for listening.

Bitter With the Sweet

On By Acceptable MadnessIn PodcastLeave a comment

Ya know, not everything in the world is great (as I’m sure you’ve already noticed.) That doesn’t make the world bad or terrible to live on, but it means that there are some less than perfect things that happen, whether it’s a dispute between you and a friend, some burnt mac n’ cheese because you forgot to add water to the Kraft you were microwaving, or you have a dog that WON’T STOP BITING YOUR SHOE LACES NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TELL HER NOT TO, but I digress. Not everything will be great, but as the great musician, Carole King, said, “you’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet.” In this episode, I dive into what that actually means.
