Summary

Hello, all! Please excuse my mistake with the episode number. Bah! I also was perhaps a little delirious, but that just adds to the flavor... right??

In this Q&A, I answer the following:

Every time I do something for myself, I feel guilty about it. How do I stop this pattern?
I felt envy when I heard about someone that lost their life to suicide. Should I feel bad about that?

As always, you can send me your questions to [email protected] and stop by duffthepsych.com/episode249 for full show notes!

0:44.9	offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely, but feel free to feel it out,
