0:00.0	Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium, and animal communicator, and I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no bullshit mystical advice for living your very best life.
0:16.6	Marcelo, welcome to the podcast. What would you like reading about?
0:22.7	Hi, Jessica. Thank you so much for choosing my question. I think I'll just go ahead and read my question since I had it here.
0:27.1	Perfect. My question is, hi, Jessica. As someone that is prone to anxiety, isolation, depression,

1:17.3	Okay. You name some words that are like anxiety, disassociation. Do you mean like this is like
1:26.2	self-diagnosed? You're talking about your nature or do you have like a mental health diagnosis of these words?

1:34.6	Okay.
1:35.1	Do you see a shrink?
1:36.0	Do you have a therapist?
1:36.9	Do you have somebody who supports you and all that kind of stuff?
