Hi, I'm Anna Marie Cox and this is another day with Autumn Marie Cops.

On this show, we're doing something a little different, but a little the same.

Normally, I'm here asking questions and connecting dots and helping unpack the stories of other people.

But I'm always drawing from the story that I've lived, and now I'm going to share it more directly.

This week, I'm bringing you an audio essay.

It's about water stains and cracked walls, the foundations we lean on,

and what happens when our foundations shift.

It's about finding strength and asking for help,

even when the ground beneath you feels like it's breaking apart.

I hope you find something in it that speaks to you,

whether you're a homeowner or just a human trying to hold things together.

Before we begin, I need to give a quick warning, as this episode mentions suicidal ideation

and overdose. If that's something you're not in the space to hear right now, please take

care of yourself and listen when or if you're ready. If you feel like you are in danger,

there are options.
