I'm a long-time listener to the podcast. I was hooked during the first year he was on because he talked to so many comedians.
I struggle with:
- clinical depression (I take Cymbalta)
- body shame (been to tons of therapy about this)
- being married to a wonderful woman that has become asexual due to medical issues. It's unclear how much of it is physical and how much of it is her expressing her true self (currently in couples counseling)
- raising a wonderful but challenging daughter with ADHD
The thing that's kicking my ass today is a combination of
- dealing with a long-term and total lack of sexual contact with my wife (and the whole ball of past trauma, shame, and regret that goes with that)
- clinical depression
But all of that's for a different forum post.
On the bright side, I'm still the luckiest guy I know. I am very grateful for the ability to receive help from a wonderful support net. The last few weeks have just been kicking my ass.
I look forward to helping others and learning from you all.
