This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad.

I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,

being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your

risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive,

there are things you can do, like asking your health care provider if an authorized

oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is

Hi, Dr. Laura. It's a pleasure to see you with you again. Well, thank you. Oh, well, welcome back.

What can I help you with? So I'm just going to give you a little background about me. I have a

question about or an issue about the relationship I'm in. I'm 24. He's 27. We met through our religious

preferences, the dating app, and we lived close enough that we could date in person, so that was good.

We live about 15 minutes apart, so I see him probably near every day. So we have a pretty good

communication. He's really great. He's very responsible and funny and seems to make all of the

right decisions. I struggle with my mental health. I struggle with depression. I have for the last

five years. I'm not currently seeing a therapist because I'm on a waiting list to get into C1,

and I have all of these feelings cropping up every so often where she seems perfect in so many ways.

And I know no one's perfect. I understand that. And I just feel inadequate or that he's better.

Tell me the ways he's not perfect. Come on. The harder than I thought. He isn't as adventurous as

me. Number one, go ahead. He hasn't, I guess that ties into adventurous. Oh gosh. I don't think

he really has. Do you know why I asked you this question and why you're having such a tough time?

Why? Because part of depression is to think you're shit and he's gold.
