Couch Cope
This is the creation of two best-friends who want to share the simple fun of playing and having deep conversations about life, mental health, well-being, and all the nerdy, geeky shit, that we are all into. We want this to be just like the old days of playing video games on Saturday nights, having the time of our lives, making memories, talking about the things we're into, the games we play, the movies we've seen and lives we've lived.
This is for the kid in us, may they forever live

EP 10: The Silent Battles We Wage
Living in a society that’s incessantly trying to advocate, solving personal problems through sheer self-reliance and independence, it can sometimes feel awkward, even shameful to ask for help, and to want support.
We end up fighting in invisible battlefields alone, feeling disheartened over the towering mountain of issues, we feel we should be solving alone. We wear masks of smiles, laughter, and busywork, to hide the scars, and the cuts, and the bleeding. We foolishly hope that if we pretend long enough, maybe the wounds would cease to exist. We drown ourselves with positivity, thinking it’s the cure, but all it does is numb the pain we all know is still there. Its building, bubbling and looming, and we’re afraid that if we finally open up, that the emotions would be too overwhelming, and too powerful for us to control. There, in that valley of conflicting thoughts, fears and silent cries, we fight our silent battles.
This episode is for those of you, who feel alone, for those of you who have been hiding long enough. Let’s sit down and talk about you scars and your wounds, and your secret fears. I know you think that this battle is yours, but you don’t need to fight it alone.
