What's up, kiddies? Chris Gethin here. You are listening to the Knowledge and Mileage podcast.

I want to begin by thanking Brian at Tree City Advisors here, who allows us to use this beautiful podcast office.

He actually runs a radio show out of this office, and he's allowed us to use this facility for free of charge.

Should I say that?

Maybe I shouldn't say that.

Maybe it charges everybody else that comes in here.

And it's absolutely awesome.

It's way too pretty for a short, scruffy Welshman like myself to be in here.

But I'm getting comfortable being here now.

I don't think I'm going to leave.

I love this place.

Anyway, thank you, Brian.

Really, really appreciate it.

So today, I am going to talk to you about battling depression.

I get so many messages from people. Maybe I seem troubled. I get a lot of

people who deal with different types of depression. There's varying degrees, obviously. Some people

are suicidal, some people aren't, some people have mild forms, some people are confused,

whether it's bipolar, whether it's depression, whether it be anxiety, or all of the

above. So this is something that I definitely want to address. I do respond to these people

who do message me because, you know, I really think that, you know, somebody who is going

through a lot of trouble and doesn't know where to reach out,

um, social networks do provide that place where no one's going to judge as much.
