Got me interested in something again. Got me taking walks listening to their podcast. Then finding other podcasts too. Gradually gaining enough strength to seek help.
I'm back on my feet now, and haven't been depressed at all for several years.
Podcasts, starting with this one, and the fact that I could get them for free (I was completely broke, and in debt), were a lifeline.
So I'm rather unlikely to stop listening, or supporting the show, now that I can afford it.
Great to hear the show helped you get out of a bad place, and that you're doing well. That's exactly what shows like the SGU are perfect for.
And hey, it's a great show! Perhaps superfluously, I'll say again that I still listen to them. The incident which caused me to pause and reconsider wasn't nearly as severe in hindsight as it seemed to be at first.
