Because I've witnessed it and heard other podcasts and talk about it and, and a lot of times, like you talked about that- that first introduction to suicide and and then coming back to the end of your story, and you've seen that was the only way out, because that's what you've seen, and that was like how you were programmed as a kid, and I truly believe in early childhood programming from like one to seven, and even a little bit later than that, because I can reflect back to a lot of things.
