Hello there, this is Sam.

And before I, so before I get into this podcast,

I just want to say firstly, I have actually recorded the 100 episode test.

So it's actually over two hours long,

but I have recorded that podcast

and I am going to release it.

And it's going to be released shortly after I do this episode.

So now second point, this episode isn't going to be a words episode. I'm basically going to say a few

words about where I've been and where the podcast has been because it's been obviously

a fairly a fair few months since I recorded one. So this podcast is going to be fairly personal.

So if you want to skip this, fine, that's totally good good feel free.

But if you do want to know where I've been and what's been going on

and hear some personal details, etc.

Please, please keep listening.

So yeah, if you want to skip it. Please keep listening.

So yeah, if you want to skip it, skip this one, I'll upload the test episode shortly after this one gets uploaded.

So anyway, if you've decided to stay and listen I'm going to begin.

So I'm going to preface this by saying I think in general we have a big issue in today's society when it comes to any sort of mental health issues,

whether it's stress, anxiety, depression and so on. And what makes this issue so much worse is that as people
