[00:00:48] Inspiration for this being that, you know, at various times on my mental health journey, I find myself thinking, but now haven't I dealt with this haven't I been here haven't I shouldn't, I, should I be too old for this shit though? Should I not have arrived? And so I really want to, you know, chat with someone who [00:01:16] has been on a, on a similar lengthy therapy journey, um, in terms of managing their mental health and trying to understand, you know, do we, do we ever arrive? Do we ever reach a point where we're like, yep. See that issue. We see you. We know you're there. You know, you're not going to get us because honestly we're too old and too wise for this shit. [00:01:45] Um, yeah.

[00:02:09] You know? And, and I guess my questions becomes.
