This is a headgum original.

Previously on the headgum podcast.

I actually was clinically depressed with or clinically diagnosed with depression at a very young age like age

age 8 9 10 I was going to therapy some pretty dark times in my life wrote about it

extensively in our book, was medicated for many years,

had OCD in my childhood was medicated for that as well.

I would say as of late I have felt myself slipping back into depression.

I don't currently have a therapist and it's something that I beat myself up over.

You know, it's hard to make time for and to prioritize yourself.

The disease that I have certainly weighs on me heavily

and has made it hard to balance the things I want to do

with the limited energy I have.

And I'm the kind of person that has always

had my self-worth related directly to my creative output,

and it's been hard to feel like I'm worthy and valid.

And so the specter of depression has risen again.

But I'm doing okay.

I'll do the bundle for that one.

Just a buzzing noise. That's actually that doesn thing. That's actually a bad for tea.

Major Key Alert.

If you're not doing well, reach out to a friend.

All right, here we go.
