I dissociated after you said I did not have a lot of fear that troubled me. I cannot understand that sentence.
What the hell? What that must be like. I only have fear that troubles me.

Oh, I mean, we were a small family, which is my sister and I and my parents. How is it different? There was a lot less going on. We were like kind of a little island. I was raised by a football coach, though. So I do know more about sports than I let on. Yeah. Yeah. But my sister and I were just I mean, sometimes when I go to Abby's house,

It's actually quite hard for me because I don't it's it's I'll say to Abby, I talk to everyone, but I didn't get to know anyone better at all. And I don't understand. We're just like saying things to each other, but we're not like learning about each other. It's so chaos. So I just feel like I go in and then it's a swirling and then I leave. Yeah. Welcome to a big family. Yeah.

I just remember feeling completely exposed and confused in high school. I didn't know who to sit with or how to be. I became bulimic when I was 10. By the time I was a senior in high school, I ended up leaving school to actually go spend time in a residential treatment center. Now they have excellent eating disorder clinics. But back then it was like, you just are in sort of a mental hospital.

And I really felt like the mental hospital was much saner than high school. I did. I felt like, you know, I felt like, oh, this is where we're able to tell the truth. And we do art and we talk about feelings and we're all, there's rules about how to be kind to each other. Actually very much like 12 step meetings now. I love a 12 step meeting. I need a 12-step meeting.

I need like a moment of truth where everyone's telling the truth about how hard and messy life is before I go out into the world and like adult and act like everything's fine.

Yes. My whole life I've spent uncomfortable in my body. When Abby and I first got married, I would get dressed to go out and I would say, do I look comfortable? And she would say, I think that's something people have to answer for themselves. Really, I think I have spent a lot of time dissociated, like not in my own body. I live in my mind a lot.
