Now, David, I'm a teeny bit suspicious that I don't know if you were.
Were you dealing with it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It sounds a bit like you tried to treat it with action.
As opposed to maybe perhaps sitting in discomfort.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, good.
That was kind of my hunch.
And then, of course, that just waits there.
At some point, it does start just kind of seeping out.
How delayed was it for you?
I lost my dad when he was 62, and I just had all these waves.
First was just getting him through the whole thing.
There's a lot of action there.
Then there's action in the aftermath.
And it's just honestly years, and it continues to be waves of like, oh, right, wow, I have a sadness now that I didn't allow myself to have then, and that's 13 years ago.
I've gotten a drinking problem.
And you're in your third year of med school.
And what's the first symptom?
You're like, everything's great.
