i'm sorry to interpret your regularly scheduled podcast but, i thought about changing up the pace with a mini-series around the topic of mental health awareness and talking about it with older people in my personal life like my mother. i'm working on the next interview and on Friday, An Opinionated Me will be back in business with my co-host, Zeus. he isn't on social media but, i am. to stay up-to-date about my personal life, the podcast or my other work, i highly suggest you follow me on Twitter. i feel weird when it comes to self-promoting but, if you would like to give us or me financial support for this and other projects, you can support us on Patreon. we deeply appreciate your support either way. love ya and have a good rest of your day.

i hope you enjoyed this episode and that we didn't come off as insensitive towards the grim topics that we covered. remember, if you ever feel like you are depressed, confused about your emotions and contemplating something drastic like suicide, please talk to someone like a counselor, therapist, look for free therapy options in your area like group talks, talk to a friend, seek a psychologist or call Suicide Prevention Lifeline. you matter and your life can account for wonderful things in this world, even if you feel like it doesn't.
