Hello, all! Please excuse my mistake with the episode number. Bah! I also was perhaps a little delirious, but that just adds to the flavor... right?? 

In this Q&A, I answer the following:

• Every time I do something for myself, I feel guilty about it. How do I stop this pattern?
• I felt envy when I heard about someone that lost their life to suicide. Should I feel bad about that?
