I haven't been able to find a guest in time to record an interview for an episode in time for my release schedule. However, there was some interesting information that I wanted to pass on to you. We recently had an event here in my local town that was intended to raise awareness about mental health issues and I felt this was a really fitting addendum to the conversations that we've had with Jason Rivera and Christy Maxson. Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health issues are so prevalent in our society and I was absolutely blindsided when I was bombarded with depressive thoughts recently, after Christy and I talked. So I definitely wanted to bring this issue up again and encourage you to talk to "Safe People" as Christy called it, and reach out and seek help, because you are valuable, you are loved, there is hope.
In a previous episode we talked about my favorite author Brandon Sanderson and in one of his books there is an inspiring quote: "This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth."
If you are struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts, there is a new help line, 988. It's like 911, but for mental health, and it's NATIONWIDE. There is help, there is hope!
Hopefully together we can all avoid being a jerk for a long time.
