Welcome to episode 752 with my guest Dylan Tucker. You're listening to a place for honesty about all the battles in our heads from medically diagnosed conditions, past traumas, and sexual dysfunction to everyday compulsive negative thinking. And this show's not meant to be a substitute for professional metal counseling.

I think duly, if you're wearing a uniform and you say worn you have to say duly

duly warned i'll get an answer for you by the end of the show gracey says hello she's

snoozing on the bed behind me um i want to share with you.

One of my support groups last night was just a great, great meeting.

And the guy who did the lead share in the meeting, who I hope to have on as a guest,

And he said something that just really resonated with me.

Some of you filled out surveys or sent me emails concerned about

that I might be experiencing some bipolar.
