Welcome back, it's mail-in podcast, I'm the host of the mail-in podcast, Sally Diffries,

Hello, Sally. I'm just reading this rundown for the first time. Oh, yeah, how's it looking? Good. I'm like skimming it, so it might be more of a raw, unfiltered version of me. You know

why that's good is because this is the existential crisis episode of the mail-in podcast. Okay. Every question seemed to fall into the vibe of like help

on spiraling in some way form or fashion, so what's the most existential crisis you've ever had?

Probably let the questioning my own mortality and the mortality of my parents after the recent string of health issues

they've dealt with and stuff. Yeah, that's a good one. You still, you're still not spiral or are you

not going to get out of it? I'm just kind of, yeah, I'm kind of coasting, if you will, cruise control on the

existential crisis. Okay. Throw on John Mayer, stop this train if you're if you're with, yeah, yeah, it really makes you think. How about you?

I mean, I have had multiple existential crisis, crises, crises, yeah.

I mean, parenthood comes to mind. Yeah, that's a brand new one. That's fun.

It's struggle with anxiety and a little bit of smidred depression here and there. Just a sprinkle.

When I was in grad school, so I saw a therapist got on some meds for that. Okay.

But one that I feel like is very applicable to our listeners is that I feel like when I was in my mid-20s

and working as a nurse and doing like three, 12-hour shifts, I think I've talked about this before.

I was in the period of my life where like everyone was getting married or I was going on a

bathroom party or going to a wedding or going back to Austin for the weekend. And I felt like I was

literally living on a suitcase for two years, string. Like I would either be working on a weekend

because I had to work like three weekend days a month. So I would probably work a weekend. And then

the next weekend I'd be off and I'd have to be somewhere. So I never spent time in Houston like

off on a weekend, just doing weekends. And if I did, it was like balls the wall party because I was

like actually home. And that just was a really tiring way to live for a long time. I felt like

I literally was just skimming stuff off the top of my suitcase and like repacking it.
