It's Depression Mode. I'm John Moe. I'm glad you're here.

We had Paul Gilmartin on the show a few weeks ago, TV and podcast host, comedian,

and he talked, among other things, about how important his human connections were to his recovery, how important it is on an ongoing basis to check in with his people and just sometimes talk about how everybody's doing in a deep philosophical, emotional, mental healthical kind of way, and other times just to talk

sports or books or movies or whatever it is, just to kind of check in with your folks.

And I think, you know, I was thinking we should do that more. Let's check in with our friends.

And we have one of our friends with us today. Jenny Lawson is the author of several

bestselling books, furiously happy, let's pretend this never happened, broken, and you are here.

Jenny Lawson, welcome back to Depression Mode. Yay, I'm so glad to be here.

I should say you're also, according to Amazon.com, the author of A-plus certificate in computer maintenance and installation,

OCR National Level 2 in IT, and A2 level GCE applied ICT for edXL.

But I think those might be by a different Jenny Lawson.

Yeah, I think so.

It also says under Goodreads that I am the author of Sesame Chicken.

And it's not a book called Sesame Chicken.

It is literally a picture of Sesame Chicken.

I didn't know you're responsible for that.

I have no idea.

I love Sesame Chicken. I don't know you're responsible for it. I have no idea of sesame chicken.

Yeah. I don't even know how, uh, how my oven works. Um, but apparently I'm the author of sesame chicken and also, um, some adult toys as well.

Oh, was a surprise. Who knew?

Yeah. Your portfolio just keeps expanding.

Yeah, yeah.
