Grief, LEGO, and Gaming – Wargaming Recon #275

Referencing the award-winning musical, Dear Evan Hansen, Jonathan shares how chronic depression, anxiety, and grief caused Jonathan to feel like a sinking ship with no land in sight.

That is until Jonathan rediscovered a love of LEGO.  LEGO is more than a building toy.  It can even be used for tabletop gaming.  Listen to this episode to hear the tale.  You’ll also find out about some upcoming podcast guests and topics.

“Dear Jonathan, today is going to be a good day and here’s why…..”

If you, or someone you know, is with depression, anxiety, and/or grief please consider looking at Harvard Medical School’s “Ways to support someone who is grieving” or reach out to a friend or therapist (you can find trained therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and support groups through Psychology Today’s website).  You are not alone.

Seeking help is NOT weakness.  Sometimes we all need help and that is ok. IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS, PLEASE USE THE EMERGENCY NUMBER FOR THE AREA YOU ARE IN (911 IN THE US, 999 IN THE UK, ETC…)
