It's impossible to log online right now and not see two people from opposite sides of the political spectrum just shitting all over each other. And you know, nine times out of their responses to something that I see and then, like, I would have gladly got into some sort of argument with somebody whose opinion I didn't agree with previously. And you know I did that because I was a deeply unhappy person and I was deeply unhappy with my life.
Ever thought about how politics might be messing with your mental health? In this eye-opening episode of 'Brobriety', Scott and VanSober take a deep dive into the tumultuous waters of the U.S. election and its impact on our minds. They tackle the right's attacks on Hunter Biden's addiction and scrutinize the sobriety claims of both Biden and Trump.
The discussion doesn't stop there; it goes on to dissect the rugged individualism that's often tied to toxic masculinity and the importance of community strength. They also explore how social media's relentless political bickering can be a mental health minefield, leaving many of us feeling like we deserve a yearlong nap. Scott and VanSober emphasize the need for vulnerability and collaboration in these trying times.
They argue that the American Dream's 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mentality has been twisted, making it harder for people to ask for help when they need it most. This episode isn't just about politics; it's about how we cope with the stress it brings and why it's crucial to seek support.
You'll find the conversation both raw and hopeful, as the Bros look forward to bringing in new guests and perspectives to further explore addiction, recovery, and mental health. They remind us that it's okay to be vulnerable and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the current political climate, this episode offers a fresh perspective on maintaining your mental well-being.
