ARP 327 - Is it Always Going To Be Like This?

As I mention in the podcast, it is the eight anniversary of the podcast. The need to connect people to the various mental health services  is still necessary.

There have been times that my symptoms were stable and I could crank out an episode, no problem.

But there are times when I'm at high tide, the symptoms are showing themselves to the public and I can or cannot produce an episode.

Thing is, more often or not, I found a way. Making mistakes. Learning new ideas and concepts. Understanding that treatment is an ever expanding concept.

In 2015 I did not say anything about virtual mental health care. It wasn't on the radar or a minor blip accessible to some people, probably using Skype.

So I still do this podcast dance with my symptoms and my goals. 

Which begs the question, Is it always going to be like this?
