Yo, come on, you know there's no smoking in here anymore, right? Listen, your wife is just, very concerned, and understandably so. I mean, I heard about the mood swings, so, you wanna tell me what's going on? We've been through this before, right? Look, I know you're struggling. We've made a lot of progress over the years here, and it really seemed like the medication was helping. Why, why'd you go off? Why'd you stop taking the medication?
The trauma you experienced as a young man is long behind you now. Let that scar on your wrist remind you of where you've been, not where you're going. You're a survivor. You've been through it. You're on the other side now. Okay, all the feelings you're experiencing - the anger, the sadness, the, the pain - all those things - absolutely valid, but, it's up to you to take a stand. To say, on this day, today, I will hurt no more. Can you do that?
