I'm so grateful that I'm alive, I'm so grateful that I'm able to get help, and I'm so grateful that I'm able to do the work to try to be a better person for my family and for myself.
Picture this: a comedian, known for making others laugh, grappling with the darkest corners of his mind. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Paul Goebel opens up about his recent suicide attempt and the subsequent stay in a psych ward. It's a raw, unfiltered look into his life as he tries to break free from the chains of addiction and untreated mental illness that have plagued his family for generations.
Goebel doesn’t shy away from admitting his past mistakes – being a bad parent, a lousy husband, and having a troubling attitude towards women. But what stands out is his determination to change. He's on a mission to be a better father, husband, and friend, and it all starts with seeking help and learning to express his emotions rather than numbing them with substances.
Through his candid conversation, Goebel sheds light on the importance of therapy, including online platforms like BetterHelp, which have been instrumental in his recovery. His story is a testament to the power of honesty and vulnerability in healing. If you're someone who's struggled with addiction or mental health issues, or if you know someone who has, this episode is a poignant reminder that it's never too late to seek help and start anew.
