Can I tell you a story?

It happened this weekend.?
Actually, it's kind of a long story.?(My family would tell you I don't tell any other kinds of stories.) (TLDW: a long time ago, I almost got arrested for a hit-and-run, and now I've got parking issues......)?
So I recorded this video, take a listen:
I'm actually really proud of myself for asking for help, for cutting myself some slack, and for not beating myself up (too much). Was it legitimate PTSD? Clinical anxiety? I don't know, and it doesn't much matter, but BOY does it give me extra compassion for those who live with those struggles on a daily basis.?
And from now on, I'm just going to focus on parking better. :)
We're in this together, and we can do this.

P.S.?If you're new to this newsletter, welcome! I send it once a week, and try to make it brief, light and practical. So thanks for being here!
P.P.S.?I know. It's almost midnight on Monday. You are going to receive Mental Health Monday on Tuesday, unless you're up REALLY late. I'm working on it! But doing a newsletter like this isn't easy. I'm a doctor, Captain, not a newsletter producer! Well, I'm a speaker, but you get the point. I really am trying to get this out earlier, though, I promise!
