Summary
Three totally different questions today ranging from relatively basic to quite intense. I hope you enjoy. Did a little something different with the format of this, please feel free to send me feedback about it.
Here are the questions:
- As a transgender male, how can I cope with my dysphoria while having sex with my partner?
- Should I increase my dose of Klonopin or change medications for my anxiety?
- I feel like I don't have any reason to live. What else can I do?

| 0:04.0 | This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general, |

| 1:24.9 | podcast episodes here. I am going to be doing a dedicated ad spot in the |
| 1:30.8 | podcast. Sorry, not sorry. So I'm going to be doing a mid-roll |
| 1:34.8 | ad spot which means after the first question I'll be doing a advertisement spot. |
| 1:39.8 | Sometimes that will be with an advertiser that I am being paid by. |
