Added 2024-05-21 02:49:15 +0000 UTCSome of you probably saw this on Twitter, but just in case:
I've had a couple of nasty, frightening psychotic breaks in the last 36 hours or so, which is disconcerting in itself, but I'm most scared by the fact that I don't know why they're happening. Usually there's some kind of pretty self-evident catalyst for a psychotic episode, but this time, I've got nothing. No drugs, no drinking, no staying awake for a week, etc.
I hope this shit will go away in time to record & release Death/Corner at the normal time this week, but because I don't understand what's going on, I feel ill-equipped to make any promises. Hopefully that was some semi-random neural misfire and will dissolve over the next few days, but some of you will probably know that, even when you're not actively hallucinating anymore, any kind of schizoid episode leaves you rattling around inside a hollow shell of yourself for a while. A lot of that "self" has been abruptly discontinued.
Hoping it doesn't matter and everything is as usual, but I figured I should mention it in case of "in case of" –

I wish you way more than the best. But i bet you don't like that phrasing. Just the best will do then. Mike also, since weather is such a bitch to you... can you move to better climes? We can all subscribe enough for you to live in a better air and climate for you right?

2024-05-21 14:53:00 +0000 UTCI still hold out hope that NBA playoff basketball is real. Well, at least game 7s seem to be, the effort is noticeable. Im also pretty sure watching Anthony Edwards play basketball is a form of meditation

2024-05-21 09:09:35 +0000 UTCMan, thanks for posting, I didn't do no socials and I worry about my parasocial best friends.. psychotic episodes are probably the most terrifying shit I've ever had to go through and mine were exclusively from smoking too much high strength weed for decades, one coming out of the blue is an absolute nightmare to me. I'm sure I don't need to give you advice, but rest up and keep out of the iconosphere and in nature and among trusted people for a bit

Renee Leath
2024-05-21 03:45:44 +0000 UTCthis is totally anecdotal but i've always had major burnout episodes (as well as some attempts and being admitted) around March/April/May. apparently it's kind of common with people with chronic mental health issues? again, this is anecdotal and just what i've seen people talk about on social media and in some of the mental health support communities i'm in.

2024-05-21 03:36:40 +0000 UTCI think it's the eclipse and all the crazy solar flares coming down as the aurora borealis. Shit has been rough out here for those sensitive enough to feel it.

Kyle Meyer
2024-05-21 03:33:08 +0000 UTCThe cosmic beauty is that when I start to dissociate or have an episode, your show always somehow helps me peace myself back together. A real through the looking glass experience in which acknowledging all the insanity and darkness rebalances me. I’m so thankful to have that, and want you to know that your episodes exist on a different time schedule. There are still episodes I haven’t heard because the time isn’t right yet. There is always time; take as much as you need.

2024-05-21 03:19:21 +0000 UTCThe psychic weather seems heavier than usual lately. You've kept up a powerful pace of late, and I don't think any of us would begrudge you taking some time to rest. Hope you feel better soon.

2024-05-21 03:18:25 +0000 UTCyou had me at “a single person that truly appreciates your work” bc I think many many brains are required to fully Get It (or i’m just dumb which also fine). but yes to your actual point!!

2024-05-21 03:18:12 +0000 UTCHey Michael, yes I saw on twitter but since I’m 🔒 there i can no longer reply guy you to hell and back; allow me to herein wish you a smooth stabilization back to a non-Lynchian reality. We may love the man but no one should have to live like that. I know any Health Event is even scarier when no cause is obvious. If you go seeking answers (which w your history i imagine is an emotional minefield) I will hold light for you that they are forthcoming 🙏🏽
Shivvy
2024-05-21 03:16:54 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself and we will be patiently awaiting your return. I have a friend I've introduced your work to with similar struggles with addiction and mental health issues including psychosis at times. He's a musician and deals with these themes in his work. Perhaps give some a listen https://edymeaday.bandcamp.com/ This song in particular https://edymeaday.bandcamp.com/track/open-letter

2024-05-21 03:16:04 +0000 UTCMe and my fiancé were hanging wallpaper last weekend and listened to your podcast. It brought us closer together which I cannot say about any other podcast. I am thankful for you and hope these past couple days were just some fluke. Hang in there.
BigDomKane
2024-05-21 03:15:14 +0000 UTC***Also, im no expert, but I have (nearly a lifetime) of first hand experience with severe manic episodes that lead to psychotic breaks/behind the veil experiences. They ALL have happened in the SPRING. Had been over 20 years since I landed in a special kinda place, but there I was recently…again. Take from it what you will, but the energy of the sun vibrates differently in the spring, and sometimes it hits you hard. Maybe that helps, thanks Mike you’re an inspiration, hope you recover well.
MW
2024-05-21 03:12:49 +0000 UTCI've had recent experiences of temporary mental loss. I remain thankful for those close to me that helped me pull through, and that has helped me stabilize.

2024-05-21 02:57:48 +0000 UTCI can’t imagine a single person that truly appreciates your work, and that brain of yours, being upset at you for failing to produce a fucking podcast fast enough for them. I think I speak for us all when I say, you’re genuinely loved and we understand that your health is your biggest priority.

2024-05-21 02:55:55 +0000 UTCBeen going through the same, I find ridiculous “touchstones” help me—like watching NBA basketball. I listened to your episode with Liz from that other show, so maybe you can find the same bizarre ritual helpful. Sounds weird, but shit like that helps me transition back to “normal” land.
