Hey, welcome to another episode of the Mentally Chill podcast. I'm your host, Kristen Carney. And today I have my friend Kevin Avery on the show. He is an Emmy award-winning writer. And he's a stand-up comedian. And we talk really in depth about beating ourselves up and never feeling like we're part of a group and isolation and all sorts of

things that someone with or without depression can relate to. If you have tendencies to do these,

you can maybe slip into a depression. And if you do these things because of depression,

I feel like your depression can get worse.

And I know for me, I have to really work hard to not isolate and not to beat myself up

So I hope this episode resonates with you guys.

self-conscious and have sweaty armpits. And I don't feel like it's hot enough as it is.

And I don't want more sweaty armpits. So I might pick like it's hot enough as it is and I don't want more sweaty

armpits. So I might pick something that I've never seen before. I will announce it soon enough.

But if you want to join us for that movie night, all you have to do is sign up on Patreon at

patreon.com slash mentally chill. And I hope to see you guys there. So anyway, enjoy the show.

When I text messaged you and I said, what would you want to talk about on the episode?

Yeah.

You said feeling like a failure and overworking oneself to compensate and also possibly being mean to
