You don't need to apologize, aaron. We all care about you and were worried. I'm so glad you feel like you can talk to us about all of this and I hope you remember that next time you're having a hard time. And like Blake said, lots of us are always here to talk and have been through mental health issues.

Chris, I noticed you mentioned focusing on your breathing and tingly limbs. I learned a couple years ago that tingly limbs can be one of the symptoms of hyperventilating. Focusing on your breathing is great but maybe next time you can notice if you're doing it in a way that is making you feel more anxious. There are lots of really great mindfulness meditations online that are abiut noticing your breath without doing anything to change it that have been really helpful for me.

I think it was originally like...people pledges them money for prostate cancer research if they did it, which is great, but then everyone kept doing the gross mustaches without the charity?

Jer and I were Wayne and Garth. Jonas was Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. We went to Jer's sister's house and went trick or treating with Jonas and our nieces.

And as far as breaking out of the "casual" thing into real friendship, it is so hard. I usually try to just share something personal after hanging out a few times and checking for people's reactions. Again, being vulnerable and honest tends to make people feel closer to you, I think.

I am a generally friendly person and usually pretty good with making friends. That being said, I was in a slump for a while regarding local friends, here in Southern California. I've gotten out of it more recently, but have had to be pretty proactive about it.

I started using meetup.com, specifically for a moms' group for people with kids around the same age. Obviously not everyone can join a moms' group, but meetup.com has tons of groups and having one thing you know you can talk about, and with people who you know are also really looking for friends, is pretty helpful.

I've also just had to get over myself and be super up front about wanting new friends. People have given me weird looks, but I have also actually made friends this way. There's a woman a couple blocks away who was walking with her kid and I just went up to her and introduced myself and said I was looking for new friends. And now we are. I also did this the other day with someone at a coffee shop. She hasn't emailed me yet, but she was super friendly. Most people are if you make yourself a little vulnerable and if they aren't, they probably wouldn't be a great friend anyway.
