0:00.0	Hey, welcome to the last episode of the Mentally Chill podcast in the year 2018 and beyond. What do I mean by that? I don't mean to scare you. Welcome to the show. I'm your host, Kristen Carney. And if you follow me online
0:22.0	or the podcast online, you may have seen a post that looked kind of ominous, but then turned
0:27.4	out to be totally the opposite. And that was announcing that I'm no longer going to be doing
0:34.0	the mentally ch'il podcast. However, I will still be doing a podcast very close to
0:41.6	the mentally chill podcast, just slightly different. I'm going to read you what I posted on the
0:47.6	Patreon page because I can't say it better than how I wrote it because when I wrote it, I wasn't
0:54.1	anxious. And right now,
0:55.8	because I'm coming to terms with this decision, I'm very anxious. So it's easier for me to just
1:01.9	read it. So here it is. As of late, I've gotten criticism for not being educated in the field of
1:07.9	mental health. The pressure of trying to be what people expect of someone
1:11.6	talking about mental health and the pressure I put on myself to say everything just right each
1:16.8	episode has proven too much for me to handle. It's ironic that my show about mental health is damaging
1:23.4	my mental health. As you guys know, I'm not an expert on this topic, nor have I ever claimed to be.
1:28.7	I mean, that's pretty obvious in the way I discuss things because I have no idea what I'm talking
1:32.6	about. But my goal when starting the show was to quote unquote, talk shit about depression.
1:38.1	That's it. However, the show has evolved since Stevie's suicide into something with much more
1:43.5	gravity than ever originally
1:45.1	intended. Due to this, the show is no longer bringing me joy, instead intense anxiety,
1:51.7	crippling self-doubt, and occasionally tears. I know a big surprise. With that being said,
1:57.0	I will still be doing the podcast, but more on my terms. I'll be rebranding it into
2:02.2	Kristen and Chill, still with the parentheses over ILL. And it's a play on Netflix and Chill,
2:08.0	but I'm not going to be doing it or getting sexy, unfortunately. But we'll still be talking
