Welcome back to another episode of Joey Misbehaves! This week, things took a turn as we delved into the deep waters of mental health, mysterious house spirits, and even dabbled in the realm of literary genius, Edgar Allan Poe.
For those who are new, here's a brief recap. I had my daughter Abby as my co-host, primarily because my health hadn’t been the best, and my planned interviews had fallen through. But as always, Abby was a sport and jumped right in to keep the banter flowing.
The conversation started on a serious note, with me confessing that I had, rather foolishly, stopped taking my depression medication without consulting my doctor. It's never advisable to make such decisions without professional advice. The consequences? Days filled with anger and despair. Abby, ever the supportive one, empathized and echoed the sentiments of countless individuals when she said, “It's the medicine that's making you feel better.” A reminder that often when we feel good, it’s because of the support system, be it emotional or medicinal, that we have in place.
From mental health, we meandered into more spooky realms as we discussed my house's potentially haunted vibes. Abby had a fun take on it, relating it to the true crime stories she's been engrossed in. Her animated recounting of her neighbor's peculiar behavior had us both in splits. If you're wondering, she's convinced he might be hiding something (or someone) in his house. It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for!
We also reminisced about past memories, shared some personal stories, and touched upon our shared love for literature. Edgar Allan Poe’s dark, mysterious, and poetic tales gave us some good chuckles, especially as Abby tried to place where she'd heard of him before.
All in all, our conversation was a mixed bag, touching upon serious topics like mental health while also having some light-hearted fun. It’s a testament to the fact that life isn’t just black or white; it's filled with a plethora of colors, each representing different moments, emotions, and experiences.
If there's anything to be learned from this episode, it’s the importance of taking care of one's mental health, the need to communicate and share with loved ones, and of course, to always have a good laugh, even if it's at your own expense.
Till next time, keep the banter un-muffled, and remember - Joey may misbehave, but it's always in good spirit!
