Stressed Depressed & Anxious

Hey there, my lovely little babies! It's Summer, your local neighborhood baby, bringing you a solo episode after some unforeseen technical difficulties. This week, I was supposed to release "Hey Mom, I'm on TV" with Jenn from My Streaming Bubble, but technology had other plans. Since the audio file got corrupted, I decided to sit down and have an impromptu heart-to-heart with you all. In today’s episode, I open up about my own battles with anxiety, a nasty sinus infection, and a possible run-in with POTS (yes, it’s been that kind of week). We explore the impact this has on mental health, daily routines, and just trying to feel okay in a world that often feels so far from it. I also talk about boundaries and how I'm navigating social distancing—not just to avoid physical illness, but to protect my peace. Let’s be honest, some people can be emotional vampires, and I'm learning to reclaim my space and energy. Dealing with health anxiety and the emotional rollercoaster it brings. Setting boundaries to protect your mental space and peace. How isolation isn't always about avoiding others, but about self-preservation. 🔑 Key Points: Dealing with health anxiety and the emotional rollercoaster it brings.

In this episode of Stressed Depressed & Anxious, it's been three long years since Nick last joined me as a guest, and we're back together again, bringing you the kind of chaos and laughs you loved in our previous episode, "Love Sid & Nancy." We're still pretty toxic, but hey, that's what makes our conversations so real and unfiltered! We dive into the highs and lows of owning a house, including the never-ending saga of DIY repairs and the hilarity of "dad moments." We also chat about the drama surrounding the end of Nick's previous podcast, Gag on This Podcast, and our shared experiences with inappropriate messages—spoiler: unsolicited dick pics are a no-go. Nick reveals his plans for a new podcast that explores the realities of parenting and the things that just don't make sense to him. Our conversation takes a more serious turn as we discuss our strained relationships with our siblings and the challenges of navigating family dynamics. We touch on sexual experiences and how toxic relationships can leave a lasting impact. And of course, we share some of the worst things that have happened to us recently, including a listener story! In the final segment, we get into our experiences with cheating and being the "other person," discuss our relationship preferences, and bond over our love for video games.

I define mommy issues as emotional and psychological challenges that stem from our relationship with our mothers. These issues can manifest in various ways, such as trust issues, fear of abandonment, and low self-esteem. I also share my own experiences with my mom, highlighting moments of neglect, criticism, and emotional manipulation. I talk about how these experiences shaped my relationship with food, my self-image, and my overall emotional well-being. I share instances of my mother buying clothes I didn't like and throwing away the ones I did, as well as calling me derogatory names. I also discuss the oversexualization and body commentary I faced in high school. I emphasize the importance of therapy and finding support from friends. I encourage decentering parents and understanding that it's okay to have complicated feelings about them. I conclude by discussing the worst thing that happened to me recently and asking for support for my podcast. Key Takeaways Mommy issues are emotional and psychological challenges that stem from our relationship with our mothers. These issues can manifest in various ways, such as trust issues, fear of abandonment, and low self-esteem. Attachment styles, influenced by our bond with our primary caregivers, can play a role in how mommy issues manifest in our lives. Acknowledging and understanding our mommy issues is the first step to breaking the cycle and improving our emotional well-being. Personal experiences with mommy issues can have a lasting impact on our self-image, relationship patterns, and overall emotional health. The impact of a mother's actions and words can have a profound effect on a child's mental health and self-esteem. Therapy can be a valuable tool for healing and processing trauma. Finding support from friends and sharing experiences can help alleviate feelings of isolation. It's important to decenter parents and recognize that they are flawed human beings. Crying and journaling can be cathartic ways to release emotions and organize thoughts. Blocking toxic individuals from your life can help protect your mental well-being.

Hey babies! We're on the road to self-discovery and mental wellness. I've taken a bold step by sharing my own journal entries with an AI, asking it to unravel my personality traits, flaws, strengths, and more. In this episode, I'll walk you through this unique and introspective journey. You'll hear firsthand how AI, with its unbiased lens, dissected my writings to reveal insights about my character that even I was unaware of. It's an exploration that's as fascinating as it is revealing. What does AI see in the words we write? How can it help us understand the deepest layers of our psyche? I was skeptical at first, but the experience turned out to be more enlightening than I could have imagined. From recognizing patterns in my emotions to highlighting aspects of my personality that need nurturing, the AI’s feedback was a mirror to my inner self. This episode is not about technical jargon or the future of AI; it's a deeply personal narrative. It's about how technology can help us understand ourselves better, leading to improved mental health and self-awareness. So, join me in this unique exploration of the self, guided by the unexpected wisdom of AI. Whether you're looking for a deeper understanding of your own mind or just curious about the intersection of mental health and technology, this episode is for you.

I promise I understand the premise. I love that there are people out there who can genuinely sit around a table with their loved ones and enjoy a feast while being thankful for their good fortune. I mean that. However, this is for the rest of you. Spending the holiday alone for any reason? Feel like the traditional narrative of Thanksgiving doesn't quite fit your life experience? Or maybe you're grappling with the darker history behind this holiday? You're not alone. In this episode, we dive into the complexities of Thanksgiving – the mixed emotions, and the reality that not everyone has a picture-perfect holiday. We'll explore alternative ways to spend the day, from self-care rituals to creating new traditions that feel right for you. Plus, I'll share some personal gripes about the skewed version what it truly means to be a friend these days and how people can be annoying in an almost attention-seeking manner.
