Oh, my God, I'm getting really like you're missing connection and reassurance.

Yes.

When you look in the mirror and you were nice to yourself by just saying you're old.

I'm normally like, God, you look terrible.

Yeah.

Apparently your hormones are still working.

That's what's up with that.

But you know, when I say to Chris, I just feel really ugly lately.

I just feel unattractive.

He always reassures me.

And it feels like it has less of a grip on me.

In terms of work, you're missing out on getting the support that you need.

And the other thing that kept really striking me, and I don't know if it really hit you as you were listening or watching to Dr. John, is how every time that ball dropped,

I felt the weight of somebody feeling like everything was on their shoulders, that it was all up to them, that nobody, that they had to figure it out on their own.

And it was...

Interesting to watch that because I think that's been one of my big stories that I've been working to change, which is, oh, it's all up to me.

And a lot of that gets reinforced when you don't open up about what you're dealing with or you don't open up about the emotions that you're feeling.

You just bury it and bury it and bury it and bury it.

Well, what's helpful about that very simple construct

Am I feeling good or bad?
