Dan and Paul are both men of color who suffer from, and openly talk about their mental illnesses. The goal of this podcast is to help further destigmatize mental illness in minority communities where we’re traditionally taught to suffer in silence. It’s our hope that listeners walk away knowing that it is ok to talk about it, it’s ok to feel, it’s ok to seek help, and most importantly you’re not alone. Join us as we discuss our experiences.
In a brutally honest and transparent episode, Dan talks about living in constant fear. Living in fear every single day dates back to his childhood. For every fear Dan has, he's developed or obtained different methods to combat each fear to no avail. It's a vicious cycle and a perpetually losing battle. He even fears success. His anxiety disorder probably heavily contributes to this.
Dan also announces that he'll be stepping away from podcasting for a while and apologizes for how inconsistent we've been here at A Few Screws Loose.

A Thankless Job
Dan shares how he was summoned again for jury duty for the second time this year. He also talks about gun ownership while having anxiety issues. The main topic of the show is public service. The images that civilians typically see of the military, police officers, firefighters, etc. often make the jobs look glamorous. P shares how that's not really the case as he details his 8-years of service as a firefighter and EMT. He talks about the 72-hour work-weeks, the constant training, drilling, seeing gruesome injuries, and deaths.

Don't Love Me Out Loud.
After getting some jokes off, Dan and P talk about how they're uncomfortable with displaying or receiving love. Dan struggles to be able to tell people that he loves them and is very uncomfortable when people tell him that they love him. Both Dan and P grew up receiving little affection and it carried over into adulthood. P talks about how his children are the same when it comes to being overly affectionate.
