And so the only time that they feel heard or feel that they can say something that might contribute to this word cloud of the Internet is in the comment section. And so I don't even know if the intention is to hurt, but I think people feel assaulted by when people posit something.

But it doesn't take away from just how gut wrenching it is to be away from my daughter and how much and son, how much time I want to spend with them. But that's the answer is that most people you think are doing it all have help. even if they don't admit it.

I can't say it's the healthiest thing to be one day out of having your baby and withstanding criticism for merely being Jewish in the world.

But because I'm the kind of person that's always taken on so many projects at once and I really believe like I can, like if I had the world on my shoulders, I wouldn't shrug it off. So that's just been a sort of a recalibration of like how tough I need to show up in the world. And the answer is I don't. You can like take breaks.

And however, I mean, I didn't want to take any drugs. It's not to say that if you take drugs, it's a bad thing. I just, I didn't want it. I didn't do it. And I got through it. You know, the farther away, you know, some people don't, but I did.

You feel bad in a way that I'm not familiar with, like in a depressed way. And I remember calling some of my friends that I know actually struggle with depression.

And if this is how you feel all the time, I'm so sorry.
