Hello, everyone! Today’s episode is a less prepared version of Q&A than I usually do. The house was a little chaotic, so I took a microphone and recorder to a local park, had a seat, and spontaneously answered some of your questions. All of the questions from today’s episode come from the private Hardcore Self Help Facebook group.

• What is a good way to balance self care and friendships when battling depression?
• How to actually let myself get out and date between a dysfunctional home ( just started ACA 3 months ago) and one abusive ex I feel like I have no inner tool to guide me to not make the same mistakes. And how to make rejection not about my self worth.
• What is your advice for someone dealing with chronic pain and a progressively debilitating physical disability? I have depression, anxiety, and PTSD. The pain and disability exacerbates my anxiety and depression. Some of the things that I know could help the depression and anxiety, I physically can’t do anymore. How do you work on your mental health and not want to give up when your own body seems like it is turning against you?
• I recently overheard a conversation about Sleep Apnea, Obstructive/ Central etc… and some likely Unknown symptoms such as, anxiety, asthma, cognitive issues, high blood pressure, neurological disorders. I would be interested in some discussion.
