Okay, um, I guess let me start by, uh, reading the little email that I sent you to summarize what, what my issue is here.

Yep.

Um, just remember it's a public call. So if you could stay off names and places, I'd appreciate it.

Uh, so, yes. Uh, no problem. I'm going to go and refer to these various relationships by using suitings anyway. So hopefully that just helps.

Anyway, okay, so I've been mired in a deep depression for the last year after three failed

relationships in a row. After each one ended, I had felt as if I could suck up the heartbreak

and move on. But as the heartbreaks piled up,

I felt that moving on was impossible. It was made even worse by a rough financial patch

brought on by a 30% pay cut emitted work slowdown. At the time of the first relationship,

I had been undergoing a period of massive self-improvement, losing weight, working out, and building

up my career.

This depression has hit me hard and has set me back significantly.

I've been procrastinating more, sleeping less, and I've been binge eating to cope.

And so I guess what I'm looking for is maybe some connections here that I'm missing or some insight that only a philosopher could provide.

Well, let's hope I can. Tell me a little bit about your life circumstances.

Okay, so I'm 41 years old. I have a pretty good career going at the moment, but it's the kind of career that there's not a lot of money in it.

It's more of a passion career than anything else.

But I love it.

So I'm living in a wonderful place.

I have money slowly coming in,

slowly getting better.

And over the last 10 years, I think my daying life has been really tough.
