A BOOMER'S BRAIN: A Journey of Mental Health, Faith and Video Games

Send us a text

Embarking on a deeply personal journey, I unpack my battle with depression in this episode of Objective Jerk. You'll hear about the challenging decision to stop medication, my struggle with staying motivated, and how the sweltering heat plays its part. I delve into my past as a law enforcement officer and examine its potential role in my mental health challenges. Life's not all clouds though - faith in Jesus and regular sessions with a psychologist have been my guiding force through these dark times. 

From the depths of mental health to the fantastic realm of video games, the discussion takes a nostalgic turn. I dust off the old controller and throw myself back into familiar worlds like Call of Duty World War II. Playing with my kids presents its entertaining challenges – if you can imagine Neo from The Matrix grappling with a controller, you’ll get the picture. But it's not all fast-paced action and disorienting motion sickness; I also find solace in slower, more strategic games. Join me as we navigate through these digital realities and explore how they intersect with the rawness of real life.
