I actually had been as I said depressed for two years and I had had enough.

I was willing to try anything.

Sure.

I didn't think I could survive much longer even with the amazing support that I had in the household and

everything. That same kind of logic that says something should be working here, but it's not.

So if all of this isn't working, we need to try something drastically different.

Exactly, exactly.

I was, I hit a point where it was just my desperation outweighed my fear. Hey everybody, before we start the show, I want to make a couple disclaimers.

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

and some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to

simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content but also

respect and recognize your limitations. So please use your best judgment. I will

never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely,

but feel free to feel it out, check out the episode and just see what happens. If you need to skip that's okay, but you know feel free to give it a shot first. I also need to say that while I am

a psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. This is not

intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a substitute for

professional help.

So with those said, let's go ahead and get into the show. All right.

Hello friends of all. All right.

Hello, friends of all varieties, this is the Hardcore Health Health Podcast episode 155.

I am your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka Duff the Psych.
