2019-06-01 22:50:36 +0000 UTCThank you. I'm really looking forward to getting better.

2019-04-10 07:17:07 +0000 UTCIt's a lesson learned, we were dumb to trust people. I mean I usually don't let it happen like that since I'm pretty paranoid about things but stupid me trusted them since we thought we were good on personal terms. Amatuer mistake.

2019-04-10 07:14:01 +0000 UTCYes good to hear that you are on this journey too. We can do it :)

2019-04-10 07:12:40 +0000 UTCI know, I wish we had a business person to deal with all of that - we thought the agent would do it for us but he ended up fucking us over. So I know it would be good to have one, just that we can't find the RIGHT one.

2019-04-10 07:11:26 +0000 UTCokay, so just going to the place that's closest to your house isn't really good I see. Well then, I may have to go therapist shopping haha. I will try out a few places thanks.
DKDKTV
2019-04-10 07:10:19 +0000 UTCwow no one's called me a hero before but I'll take it haha. Thanks, actually your advice to the other Ducks is part of the reason why I dragged myself to seek medical help. So YOU are my hero.

2019-04-10 07:09:17 +0000 UTCYeah the meds that I got prescribed basically make me high as a kite for a few hours.... I kinda like it but it's going to make me unfunctional so I'm going to tell my doctor that. Thanks for the tips.
DKDKTV
2019-04-10 07:07:19 +0000 UTCThanks for the tips. I will stay open minded, though I do have a lot of doubts still haha. I don't think this is rock bottom but I did grow tired of being paranoid
DKDKTV
2019-04-10 07:06:10 +0000 UTCThank you for the support. I feel much better already, or at least less tense? I'm more calm now, but yeah being open about it is extremely difficult especially since there's a huge stigma on mental illness in Korea.

2019-04-10 07:01:58 +0000 UTCThanks for the advice Auteema. It's certainly scary to get out of the groove that I was always in, and it's difficult to not doubt myself, but I'm pushin on.

2019-04-10 07:00:32 +0000 UTCThanks Murray. Alcohol I think was a very serious issue for me, and it was not making my life any better. I said enough is enough.

2019-04-10 06:53:33 +0000 UTCI feel like my podcasts are a diary of my changing mind lol. I don't really listen to the back catalogue but I'm wondering how it'll sound when I go back maybe 3 years from now and see how young and naive(or mature) I was.

2019-04-10 06:52:25 +0000 UTCNothing but love for you both. Depression and anxiety are difficult to live with and you are stronger than you realize. My heart breaks that you are suffering Danny and I am so proud of you for seeking help, that is hard in itself. Keep an open mind and not everything will change overnight, but if you keep working on it, it will get better. It is ok if it doesn't for awhile too, or gets worse, you now know that you have people you can talk to and medication to level things out when you are struggling. 💗🦆

2019-04-10 02:28:54 +0000 UTCJumping straight in: So you did not have any written agreement with the agent specifying the work hours, exact content and pay? Basically a contract., with exceptions and cost for added work, non-disclosure agreements and all that jazz? I feel like this should be a given in these situations. If you are going to work with David, you both have to agree based on a written agreement if you are going to do it. The way you described it sounded super fishy to me, massive red flag. They wanted a cheap deal when in fact there are people better suited to do the job, it is not like they don't have the funds! Makes me mad honestly. I hope you find a way to handle these deals better in the future, and by that i mean, better for you and your sanity! You can be good and still do good business. ( i recommend watching some GaryVee to gain perspective, if you are not following him already)

2019-04-06 19:36:03 +0000 UTCCongratulations, Danny. I also recently signed up to see a psychologist, because feeling myself like a total piece of shit for the past 6 years was getting on my nerves, and I felt like if I don't seek professional help right now, I might end up somewhere I never want to be, and that I won't be able to achieve what I'm trying to now. I hope the doctor helps you Danny. If you still don't know how credible the psychologist is, I think you can still be selective about what you share to your doctor, but you should still stick to main factors that set you off and drive you down that dark pit of depression. Usually the main reason why we don't seem to be able to overcome shit moments is because we don't have anywhere to vent it out and allow ourselves sort out the thoughts clocking our heads. Let's get through this, Danny. We can do it :))

2019-04-06 15:19:21 +0000 UTCI honestly think that you and david need a mediator/advisor for negotiating business deals and choosing deals. Idk if that’s what an agent does but y’all definitely need a third party to tell you what’s a good deal and what’s not because you both are extremely different when it comes to business. David seems like a yes man which is a double edged sword and you are someone who seems to be extremely “picky” when it comes to deals which is not a bad thing and I understand why since you guys get taken advantage of a lot, but once again can be a double edged sword. Someone with a neutral opinion to just look over everything would definitely help, hell maybe even having people in Patreon vote on the deals💀💀💀

2019-04-06 13:56:33 +0000 UTCI’m not a huge fan of humanity but I’m probably more like David and continue to believe in people. You guys do balance each other out but you both need boundaries (maybe couples therapy?) lol. Seriously you at least realized you may have an issue, I have gone through therapy on and off for years and regularly since my husband passed away unexpectedly about 15 months ago. Just be honest, if they are any good they will ask key questions that will help you delve deeper. You are really smart, another tip if you don’t connect with your therapist after 3 visits, ask to get another one. I have a really young Asian guy and when I first started last year “ I was like how is he ever going to understand an older white woman”? But he has been amazing and the best therapist I’ve ever had. I will be sending good vibes that you find a great therapist. You will figure this out and you will be okay. I don’t usually listen to podcasts but you were really interesting. Looking forward to the fan meet!

2019-04-06 04:34:33 +0000 UTCYou are my fucking hero right now. I am so god damn proud - not just that you realized “who the hell am I becoming” but also that you talked about it openly and honestly. This is what I really, really like about you, Danny (among other things) is your honesty. It will get better. You will get better. Mental health is just like regular health: it needs maintenance and good care. When we “get sick” mentally, we need a doctor, we take the medicine, and we get better. I am absolutely in your corner.

2019-04-05 20:03:48 +0000 UTCI'll echo what others have said Danny. Seeking help is one of the hardest parts about the process. I believe it's best to be 100% open and honest with your medical professional (psychologist/psychiatrist/counselor). You're not going to scare them away or shock them. If medication is in the cards for you, be aware of behavioral changes. It took me too long to realize that some medications made me feel worse or made me feel numb, and I did a bad job of communicating that to my psychiatrist. Communication is so important in this process. I find it especially helpful to write my thoughts down. A lot of the time it's freeform and doesn't make sense, but it feels good to get it out of my head. I think it's also good to keep in mind that there is no easy fix for depression. It takes a lot of work and self reflection, which isn't always pleasant. But the work is worth it. Don't get discouraged if you feel like you're not making progress, everyone has plateaus. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know that's not easy and I hope our words have encouraged and strengthened you for the battles ahead. The Ducks are here for you. 💜💜

2019-04-05 19:46:55 +0000 UTCCongratulations on going to therapy. I know it doesn't feel like something that deserves congratulations, but it is. My advice (from someone who receives therapy) is generic but solid nonetheless: try to be as open as possible. I think my therapy has been effective because I had mentally hit bottom before I dragged myself there. So once I started I thought, fuck it, I'll do whatever and try whatever to make this situation better because how could it possibly get worse. I'm not saying you need to hit the bottom to go to therapy, but I'm stubborn af so that's where I had to get to be open enough to accept help. Be open. Try the things. Accept help. Good luck.

2019-04-05 17:03:49 +0000 UTCNothing but respect and support for you! You are going to face an incredible and dificult batle but please always remember that you are not alone. And yes, asking for help it is an extremely complicated thing to do but it's also the first and most important step. During the length of your treatment you will be facing yourself and sometimes you won't want to talk about some topics but trust me, you have to. Sometimes it will feel awkward to say things outload but it will help to not stay silent even if you feel it's not relevant. If you feel like crying, go and cry. If you feel like yelling go and yell. And even more important if during your treatment you find yourself in the need of getting on meds THERE IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED FROM IT. Meds are the only thing that got me up after my (failed) attempt. Please remember you are incredible and worthly of love. You are never alone and everything you feel is valide. All the love for you, always here for you when you need someone to talk to.

2019-04-05 16:46:11 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing. Goung therapy was one of the best things I ever did. For a long time it would be a chore just to get out the house. People just annoyed me sometimes for no apparent reason whatsoever. I would have moments that a drink would the only way for me to even have a restful night sleep. So I knew I needed help. This will be a slow road so don't expect a quick fix through this process. As far as the friends issue, that's to be expected. I'm a bit older than you, I've purged out friends every few years. As you grow as a person you realize some people are not where you are in life. Some people are with you for a reason, season, or lifetime. Good luck and much love.

2019-04-05 14:09:10 +0000 UTCMuch love Danny. I have had a lot of ‘talk therapy’ in my life (years of it) and it has helped me. You have faced your problems which is half the battle. The other part is reaching out for help in safe places. You are doing that as well. Recognizing that you have ‘self medicated’ with alcohol to feel better is a good step also. You are on the road to success already!

2019-04-05 12:52:16 +0000 UTCIts very courageous of you Danny to face your issues, seek professional help and share your experiences with others. I am sad that you feel so distrustful of people at the moment - it must feel quite lonely. For many years I worked through my issues with a psychotherapist. After years of hard work I became a lot more secure in myself (not saying you are insecure, just sharing my psychotherapist experience). To me, you are heading in a direction that may feel very painful now but ultimately will later bring a level of fulfillment. The life lessons you share on your podcasts, like the realization you need to say "no", financial literacy, saving, meditation, facing alcohol dependency are all wise things to me. As I am six years older, sometimes listening to your podcasts remind me of a younger me to a certain degree (except I never enjoyed alcohol lol). Anyway, keep going! You can get through this!
