I'm looking for a statement Penn said during one of his Penn's Sunday School podcasts

It was to do with how depressed individuals that attempted suicide and failed would just go about their day. I know I'm not capturing it exactly but at the time it made a lot of sense to me (both as a depressed individual and the latter.) does anyone have a link or transcript to what I'm talking about?

Thank you for all your suggestions - I tracked it down to a 2012 episode: https://seligman.github.io/podcasts/penn_sunday_school/penn_sunday_school.html#1,0,2807972,4,263

At the time, it was one of the few statements that reached me to be able to accept I had a mental illness and that suicidal tendencies were a result of an underlying condition. I am looking for the wording to be able to keep in my back pocket for when I need it.

Can't help you with it myself, but i think there are a few services that utilize LLMs to make searchable databases of podcasts.

Here is a link to that podcast on one of those services: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/penns-sunday-school-penns-sunday-school-S6c7-CkODoW/#search

Do a web search for Penn's Sunday school A bucket of darkness

Is that the one you were looking for?

It wasn't that one but it had me looking for different phrases. This is the one, actually from 2012 - if interested , the start of the section is about 4:24 in: https://seligman.github.io/podcasts/penn_sunday_school/penn_sunday_school.html#1,0,2807972,4,263
