This episode is more about feeling sad rather than something more serious like clinical bi-polar depression. For someone suffering from mental illness such as a manic state of bipolar, simply going to a meeting is not enough.
We are not therapists and we have no expertise in this area. If you are in therapy, and you hear us crossing that line, please accept our apology, that is not our intent. If you think you are clinically depressed, see a professional and follow their direction. Take what you like and leave the rest.
But let’s turn to you first,
