Yeah, I mean, we're already seeing that, you know, there's, you know, if we as a family, like if we have a particular problem that or something that she's doing, you know, a lot of times I can talk to her and I can relate to her on a level that maybe my wife can't because I've been there and done that. And I can explain it to her. And I think that that's helpful, too.

Yeah, I mean, I think I've got, you know, from a treatment standpoint, I think I've got it dialed in. I've, you know, narrowed down, you know, what was an issue before. And I think I've kind of curtailed it. Where I find myself slipping and walking a tightrope is, you know, like I write books for a living. It's a very solitary thing.

I literally sit at that desk for six to eight hours or so all by myself documenting what I see happening up here in my head.

could spend 24 hours a day doing that i'm perfectly comfortable in my my own space all by myself more so than i am with other people but the flip side of my particular job is i do have to get out in front of people i was just recently in um in budapest and istanbul and had close to a thousand people that i had a book signing i had to get up and give a talk i had to shake hands with everybody i had to sign books for a couple of hours you know so i'm thrown basically into the complete opposite of what i consider to be my comfort zone

But I sort of force myself to do that because I find that the more often I do it, the easier it becomes. I could easily slip back into just 24-7 being all by myself, you know, like I was when I was younger. But by forcing myself to do these public appearances and things like that, it kind of keeps me, you know, I got one foot basically in each camp.

I don't get anxious about it anymore. I did at the beginning. I've kind of gotten past that. What I find happens is that when I'm in those situations, I'm basically dialed up to 11. I'm putting on a persona. I'm basically becoming the person that they expect to see. And I have to keep that up for X number of hours, X number of days. When I get on the flip side of that, I tend to crash.
