Okay, I have a new topic that I want to...

Will it be an intro or just go right into it?

We can just go right into it. like.

We can just go right into it and let, yeah, we can just go right into it. I can do the intro.

So, what, oh, please, what would you, do you don't even know what the topic is?

In three, two, one, intro.

From the beautiful Cascade Lakes in Boynton Beach, Florida, I give you Jay.

I've watched a lot of talk shows.

I don't get that.

That was amazing. Hi, I mentioned in the first episode that I wanted this podcast to be original, which it turns out is code for long sometimes.

So there's that.

What I realized is it's hard to encapsulate 40 years of mental health issues

into 25 minutes, and I really didn't want to do this

subject matter a disservice. I also think it has the potential to have a real value

for you. If you're dealing with bipolar, depression, anxiety, or maybe

you're not dealing with it but you know someone who is or maybe you are dealing with it but you don't know it yet. I really

feel like there might be some light bulb moments in here for you and so it was

important for me to be thorough. Even that said, there's so much more for me to talk about, so stay tuned for the real details to come.

We're going to do it in chunks so that you'll have time to take breaks and revisit and take

notes and drink wine and whatever you want to do.

So this first bit is kind of my life up through college, maybe a little into graduation,

and mostly about me having all of these emotions that I didn't know what to call.
