Summary
Hello, all! Great episode here for you today thanks to a couple awesome listener questions. If you haven't yet gotten a copy of my 500 Journal Prompts book, it makes a perfect little stocking stuffer. Check it out!
Here are the questions from this episode:
- My sister is depressed, even though nothing is wrong with her life and I'm frustrated by it. What can I do?
- Due to my addiction to methamphetamine and heroin, I feel like I don't deserve to get better. Should I feel this way?
As always, you can send me questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and find show notes at http://duffthepsych.com/episode283

| 0:16.4 | This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general and |
| 0:20.7 | some of those could be sensitive for you. I want to simultaneously |

| 0:28.2 | 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, |
| 0:35.6 | but feel free to feel it out, check out the episode and just see what happens. If you need to skip, that's okay, |
