Instagram post 2159811145191146807_11617367677 Having a positive mindset is important, but having a realistic mental approach to our problems is more important. Your pain is valid, and just trying to mask it with positivity can't fix that pain. It's important acknowledge what your going through, and opening up about it is important as well. .
.
.
Being open about our struggles isn't negativity, it's being honest. The world needs more of that.

Instagram post 2154613400516116435_11617367677 Hey fellow geeks,
Sorry for the lack of updates on the podcast, or anything else really. I have had a hectic schedule the last few weeks, but starting next week, things will go back to normal for me.
.
.
In the mean time, I am brain storming on how to improve Mental Geek, to be more beneficial to people, and to encourage more community activity. I'm not too creative, so I am always open to suggestions and ideas, or any help you may have.
.
.
Would it be cool to have our own social media space on the site, where people can sign up for blogs and profiles, and open up about their struggles and geek related things? Maybe we can have featured blog posts/etc on the main page? Would anyone join in on that if it happens?
.
.
Comment below if you have any ideas, suggestions, or anything!
- Matt

Instagram post 2124913230040371453_11617367677 New post is up on mental-geek.com! check it out in the instagram bio, or here - mental-geek.com/2019/09/figure-it-out/
.
.
Life has been kind of crazy over here, and Mental Geek had been sort of left on the sideline for a bit. However, we have some cool things coming up, and I have some plans in the works for our community to be more interactive, and more options for you to be able to share your story or some cool geek stuff you are involved in.
.
.
The podcast will be returning next week, and I am working on getting guests and topics lined up for the next few episodes. .
.
Thank you for being a part of our community, and remember to reach out if you want to be involved in some way or have any ideas or resources you would like to share.

In this episode, Ash takes over the role as host and interviews Matt. Matt discusses into more detail about why he started Mental Geek and what it means to him. He also goes into more detail about his history with depression, struggling with suicidal thoughts, previous suicide attempts, how he was finally able to open up about his struggles and how he copes today. We also discuss failure, Scrubs, David Tennant, Pokemon Go, and more. Check it out!

Instagram post 2104560711833016640_11617367677 Hey everyone, we have a few announcements!
.
.
#1 - Due to some scheduling circumstances, unfortunately we will not be at Floor Fest in STL this weekend. However, this means we now have 24 shirts for sale for online orders. You can go back a few pics on here to see the design. If you want one, it's $20 and that also covers shipping. Leave us a message on here if you'd like to purchase one. Sizes range from small-XL
.
.
.
#2 - Ash & Matt have decided to change the podcast schedule, and will now record and release new episodes every other week. This will help give us more time to prepare for the episodes better. We are also lining up some new guests that will be discussing new mental health topics that we have yet to discuss on the show. It's only fair to the guests, listeners, and ourselves that we put more time and effort into individual episodes instead of episode quantity. - We will return next Friday, August 16th with an all new episode.
.
.
Thank you all for being a part of our community, for your feedback, and for sharing your stories. Have a wonderful rest of your week! .

.
.

This week we chat with our friend & filmmaker @josephgoldsmith (aka Joey Breaks Things, aka Duke Lazor) - We chat about how he got into filmmaking, creating  niche comedy, how he turned failure into a positive thing, and so much more. - We go on lots of geeky rabbit trails on this one, including discussing all the announcements from SDCC, Synthwave, Swamp Thing, and the list goes on. Take a listen on the website now, and it should be on all the streaming apps shortly.
.
.
Joey is also joining the Mental Geek podcast team. He will be assisting in editing and producing, and will be on the show from time to time. Welcome to the team Joey! Check him out at joeygoldsmith.net .
