| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 687 with my guest Margot Stinus. You're listening to the |
| 0:05.5 | metal illness happy hour which is a place for honesty about all the battles in our |
| 0:09.3 | heads. This show's not meant to be a substitute for professional mental counseling. |
| 0:14.3 | I am not a therapist. |
| 0:16.4 | Let's read some surveys. |
| 0:20.8 | You know, I was gonna to do a bunch of, eh. Stuff I need to... I just get into some surveys. Shut your face. Shut your |
| 0:32.0 | fucking face. Shut your fucking face. |
| 0:34.0 | 35 seconds in. |
| 0:36.6 | Shitting on myself, all right. |
| 0:38.4 | Let's get into it. |

| 1:30.0 | And then I decided some of those people whose surveys I'm reading might not even be listening anymore. |
| 1:37.0 | So I jumped forward to surveys from 2023. |
| 1:42.0 | So yes, I'm reading fairly current ones, once filled out maybe within |
| 1:46.7 | the last six months. And again, there's too many surveys for me to read all of them on air. |
| 1:54.0 | But once I catch up, which I feel like I will probably do, |
| 2:00.0 | then I'll go back into that three and a half year gap and start reading those. |
| 2:06.9 | So I hope that answers your question. |
