Modern Day Overthinker

Loneliness will make you do stupid things if you let it. Use the time to be a better you. With the exception of a brief relationship last year that burst into flames, I have been single since 2021. I know what I want now, and I am not settling.

Fear has held me back from so many things. I have been working with my therapist non-stop to be a better believer in myself. She says I'm too hard on myself. I know she's right, but old habits die hard.

This was supposed to be longer, but I wanted to check in.

You will never be the best version of yourself. That’s not a bad thing. It’s a reason to keep going.

Update from the MDOT...

I have not been posting as much as I'd like. I also really want quality over quantity. All of my guests are going to share a unique story. I have a new episode recorded that will be edited and posted this week. Meanwhile, I have been doing a therapy twice a week with daily check ins with my therapist. She is incredible, and laughs at some of my dark jokes. It's vulnerable to post how much my therapist and I talk, however, I know what I need right now in order to make sure I do not fall back into the crippling cycle of OCD. I still have to challenge OCD daily. I likely always will. It's finding the healthy ways to challenge it that make it way easier to live with.

This is a long post, so if you made it this far you really do care, and that means a lot to me. MDOT is me sharing vulnerable stories and hope for anyone who wants to listen. I am not sure if there is a point to this post other than to update everyone on me as this is a solo project with as much transparency as possible. This is almost an open journal of my mental health journey in addition to the podcast. Thank you for supporting however you have done so. Whether that is listening, rating the podcast, sharing, sending me a message, sharing, liking, or dropping a comment. I am going to continue to share what I believe needs to be put out into the universe.

Thank you,
Collin Strajack

There's a big difference between isolation and being alone more often to stay in your lane and grow.
