About Bluntly Bipolar

How would you like to listen to a middle-aged man talk about finding peace and happiness living with Bipolar Disorder, high-functioning autism, and depression for more than 30 years? You do!? Then boy do I have the podcast for you! Don't wait! Just hit play! Jokes aside...hey, what's up? My name is Dennis Heil, and I am diagnosed with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder, and High-Functioning Autism with severe depression. I was 15 when I had my first serious suicide attempt, pulling the trigger on a bullet that misfired during a depressive psychotic episode. At 29, I had a second depressive psychotic episode that was so severe it forced me to decide between ending myself or seeking help. I decided to seek help and was diagnosed with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder. That was back in 2009, and I've been working on my recovery, peace, and happiness ever since. Bluntly Bipolar can best be described as a collection of content based on the hard lessons I've learned along the way. I am not a mental health professional. I have no training or certifications of any kind. All I am is a mental patient with a microphone, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. This podcast is not a replacement for help from qualified, trained professionals. Listener discretion is advised as I discuss my path and life bluntly, hence the title. Makes sense, right? Almost like a built-in trigger warning...

episode On Anger: Where Does A Straight White Man Belong? artwork

On Anger: Where Does A Straight White Man Belong?

I have come to believe that many of the messages of rugged independence aimed at white Americans are a tactic to fracture our communities. Isolation and alienation create anger, which helps to foster resentment that can be weaponized by malicious people. That, in turn, all fed into my own severe depression, Bipolar instability, and alienation due to my autism.

episode 50 Truths They Tried to Erase by Freddie E. Taylor (Bonus Book Review) artwork

50 Truths They Tried to Erase by Freddie E. Taylor (Bonus Book Review)

In this episode, I contemplate and review the book 50 Truths They Tried to Erase - Black Power, Culture, & Resistance Uncovered by Freddie E. Taylor. I originally bought this book due to my interest in propaganda and influence. What I found within its pages is an excellent introduction to the many ways in which our perceptions and attitudes are cultivated towards black Americans. This book is not a deep dive, but can serve as an excellent starting point to begin further exploration as Mr. Taylor covers a variety of topics and perceptions. I would recommend this book to any white person who is looking to better understand how racism and prejudice is shaped by propagandists. If you are someone who does not want to be used as a weapon against people of color, 50 Truths They Tried to Erase is an excellent place to start.

On Anger: The Straight White Male, Culture, and White Pride

I was a straight angry white man who took great offense to the idea that I shouldn't take pride in who I am, where I come from, and what I've accomplished. After all, why is it solely the domain of women and people of color? Well, let me share with you what I was getting wrong...

On Anger: You Don't Ask a Fish How to Catch Fish

The title is a joke told by Patrice O'Neal about why it's not the right move to listen to women. This method of thinking has long been a part of red pill and male spaces, and it helps to drive male loneliness, disconnection, depression, and anger.

The documentary "Inside the Manosphere" explores that world of influencers, how they think, and their attitudes and opinions.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
