[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.660]   Thank you for being here, dear listener.
[00:00:04.660 --> 00:00:14.800]   If this episode struck a chord or stayed with you, help you feel a little less alone, or
[00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:24.020]   brought you closer to someone you care about, please consider liking, subscribing, or sharing
[00:00:24.020 --> 00:00:28.760]   it with someone who might benefit.
[00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:37.800]   It really helps more people find these conversations, and if something in this episode resonated
[00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:43.520]   with you, I'd love to hear from you in the comments.
[00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.200]   This episode was created from my own lived experience.
[00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:54.760]   It's not here to diagnose or treat, but to create empathy.
[00:00:54.760 --> 00:01:01.840]   If you're in crisis, please reach out to your local mental health services, or a suicide
[00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.680]   prevention hotline.
[00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.240]   I've called the hotline myself before.
[00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:14.600]   They were kind, they listened, and they helped me through a tough time.
[00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:21.480]   That's the hope behind holding on anyway, to remind those struggling that you are not
[00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:28.120]   alone and to help those who love them.
[00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:34.280]   I'm Burke, creator and producer of this series.
[00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:41.480]   Be well, and until next time, this was holding on anyway.
