Manic & Medicated

It's been awhile since we've sat down and done a car chat. These are generally quicker episodes where I talk about things off the top of my head while I'm in the car. It's my time to 'clear my head' and get to what's really on my mind. I make a correction from my last episode, have real time conflictions, and also discuss new fears of the future.Link to Blog: https://c1992mccarthy.wixsite.com/sbeautySupport The Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/manicandmedTikTok: @manicandmedicated_Instagram: @manicandmedicatedpodcast_Email: manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.comSend Me A Text :)Support the show

Social Anxiety is not just the typical quiet and shy individual who feels ‘out of place'. You could be the ‘life of the party' and experience spurts of high anxiety. You could be in a conversation but half of you is ready to cry. You could be smiling but inside you feel exhausted because you are beyond overstimulated. I have always struggled with being around people I do not know. I am scared to be misunderstood, not liked, and frankly - I am scared of humans. Maybe that is from trauma or maybe it is because I just do not trust people openly. It takes time. Which is fine.I thought being a homebody and preferring my alone time.. more.. was a negative thing. But I ENJOY IT. I love being home. I love recharging my batteries in peace. I love cleaning my home. I love watching a good movie. I love being curled up with a story - getting lost in someone else's life when mine feels like a lot. Do I still love to be around people? Yes. But in my own way. So I hope if you are listening you know it is okay to be a little scared. It is not the end of the world. It is just how you navigate it all. It is okay to be different.xoxoc.Link to Blog: https://c1992mccarthy.wixsite.com/sbeautySupport The Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/manicandmedIG/TikTok: @manicandmedicated_Email: manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.comSend Me A Text :)Support the show

You're in a cycle of dating losers and you keep asking yourself, 'Why me?'. Well, sometimes it's you, you are making choices that are leading you to choose these people - but it's not all your fault. Sometimes we have generational trauma, parental woes, trauma bonds, the list goes on.. I'm breaking down how to see the flaws in ourselves while also realizing you're so deserving and you need to do better for YOU. Love you, mean it. xoxoc.Anxious vs. Avoidant Attachment Episode:Spotify https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/manic-medicated/id1595383197?i=1000652987406Apple Podcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/6MXyizJvaP1w92Ga50bmub?si=Qjo5PmyERNOOXF51yh_NwwLink to Blog: https://c1992mccarthy.wixsite.com/sbeautySupport The Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/manicandmedIG/TikTok: @manicandmedicated_Email: manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.comSend Me A Text :)Support the Show.

** I know Hawaii is NOT an international flight - it just FELT like one **I went to Hawaii with my mom for 11 days and I had THE BEST time. I met someone who showed me a different perspective on life, sang  in front of strangers, did things scared, saw waterfalls, hiked, went to a gay bar, experienced dole whip, ate amazing food, fell in love with myself more, got closer to my mom, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

I am still going through it - so I figured you might be too. Here are the most healthy ways to get onto the other side of a breakup. I know we still want to reach out to them or fix the situation, but the best thing right now is space. Things like no contact, boundaries and surrounding yourself with YOUR people are what will ultimately get you through it. I hope this is helpful or you at least feel less alone in this weird time after a breakup. Sometimes we are a little delulu and need some tough love to see the light.Love you, mean it.xoxo c.

Wow, it has been a MINUTE. I have been trying to process my emotions in a healthier way. I am so used to just pouring my soul that I lost sight of my own private moments to myself. Sometimes we have to hold things sacredly, against our chests, and just be. I have spent this time getting to the root causes as to why I keep making the same decisions, mistakes... realizing that I have a part in my growth and in my downfall. I hope whoever is listening to this that you eventually get to a place of healing, a space in which you can forgive yourself. You are not a victim of circumstances - you ARE a survivor of everything. If you feel small, anxious, tired, unmotivated - I hope this finds you when you need it and sparks a little hope that things do progress and get better. You deserve a love that is within you and outside of you. You deserve someone who sees you and protects you. You deserve someone who goes the extra mile to make sure you never have to second guess their intentions. You deserve someone who would rather take your pain away and not cause it. You deserve good things and good things are coming.From one anxious girl to another - we got this.Love you, mean it.xoxo c.

This is for all the girls who were terribly disappointed on Valentine's Day - just know you're worth it and he's a god damn LOSER.I just officially ended things on Valentine's Day with the guy I was dating. I THOUGHT I would be worthy of receiving a rose petal at the very least but all I got was a shrug and a whole lot of nothing. SO, sit back, relax & listen to the terrible misfortune of another failed relationship by yours truly. Proud of myself that there are ZERO tears in this episode only giggles and feminine rage. Also, men, boys… whatever the fuck you are.. do better. And grow the fuck up, because women like me are all set. It's pathetic. I'm in my hating men era, emotional availability is unfounded, and we are fully unhinged.Love you, mean it.xoxoc.Link to Blog: https://c1992mccarthy.wixsite.com/sbeautySupport The Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/manicandmedIG/TikTok: @manicandmedicated_Email: manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.comSupport the show

I'm doing that TikTok trend where we talk about all the guys we've dated this year. Honestly, it's super therapeutic and funny to talk about the highs and lows of dating in your 30s. The people who I thought were so amazing, ended up being the worst. So cheers, to another year. If this year was unkind to you I hope 2024 is a bit brighter and I'll see you next year.Love you, mean it.c.Link to Blog: https://c1992mccarthy.wixsite.com/sbeautySupport The Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/manicandmedIG/TikTok: @manicandmedicated_Email: manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.comSupport the show

It's the most wonderful time of the year - is it though? Some of us are basking in absolute happiness, while others are hanging on by a thread. Let's discuss why babies make me cry, what it's really like being single during the holidays, being left empty handed in the dating world, waiting games, validity in your bitter bitch era, and fears to share with your therapist.

The restaurant industry is COLD… I recently had to deal with yet another mean girl. But this time? BABY we are taking the HIGH road! I document a real fight that occurred between a mentally unstable, ex-coworker and I. This is a reminder to be nicer to each other - but also TAKE NO SHIT. You can be the star shining bright, don't ever give someone the power to make you feel inferior to them. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving & a healthy/safe time! & I hope this was a great giggle for you! xoxoc.Support the show

TW: We will be discussing food disorders (bulimia, anorexia & binging). Food issues and disorders can be really tricky. Where do they come from? Why do some of us restrict, while others might binge? Is it possible to have issues with both? I take you inside the mind of someone who uses food as a form of control. But where does it stem from? Is there hope for recovery? And when should I be asking for help? If you are struggling and feel like you may need help please reach out to a professional for assistance. If you feel alone in this struggle my DMs are always open. I am not a medical professional - this episode was created to shed light on the shame that surrounds people struggling. There is hope for you - you just need to ask for help.Much Love,c.Eating Disorder Resources:https://anad.org/https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/treatment-for-eating-disorders/eating-disorder-hotlinesSupport the show

I went to the Pitbull, Ricky Martin & Enrique Iglesias concert. Yes, all of them were in attendance - these are my honest thoughts on the performance. What happened after the concert was definitely the highlight of my night. It's funny, because last episode I spoke about how we need to be nicer to strangers in our real life. Humanity really upsets me because when we try to have a fun night, there are people out there who are nothing but trash. All you can do is control yourself and sometimes you have to defend yourself. But, I'm not immune from shit talking. Enjoy.

I downloaded Hinge for the first time in years. It's honestly so funny and I'm learning to not take myself so seriously. Am I trying to find my husband or potential partner? No. Am I leaning into self loathing and outside sources to raise up my confidence in a pathetic attempt to feel better? Maybe. But who cares? Let's chat about depression, feelings of worth, and why the standard for dating needs to be HIGHER. Love you, mean it.c.

I'm spilling the tea on the guy I recently dated - lemme tell you, it went to shit, lol. But I definitely learned a lot about myself and what I truly want in a partner. Dating sucks - the revolving door of asking people, ‘What's your favorite color?' mixed in with our shared experiences of childhood trauma gets old… but I'm not going to give up on the idea that someone is out there that's perfect for me. I really thought I didn't know how to date, but I'm discovering that I know what I want and I'm not willing to budge. You're not crazy, delusional, or asking for too much - they're just not the one. AND THAT'S OK. Dating is honestly a cluster fuck, and dating in your 30s is fucking weird, and trying to figure people out is like pulling teeth. So if you're frustrated, upset, or feeling down - just know I'm right there with you!Love you - mean it,c.Link to Blog: https://c1992mccarthy.wixsite.com/sbeautySupport The Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/manicandmedIG/TikTok: @manicandmedicated_Email: manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.comSupport the show

Just this week a high school student, near me, has passed away in what looks like a suicide. Her classmates have since reached out to me to see if I would speak to their school about suicide prevention. They feel as if they would benefit from someone speaking to them with real life experiences. I am calling on my listeners in the Massachusetts area to speak with your schools. I want to meet with principals, superintendents, teachers, anyone. Mental health is REAL, and with the rise of social media and real-world topics weighing heavily on students it is important to have these difficult conversations.Please send me a DM on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/manicandmedicated_/ OR email me at manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.com so I can contact your school.I would like to visit school systems at the beginning of the next school year.Thank you for the continued support and your consideration.Much love, CarissaSupport the show

TW: Graphic talks of suicide - check in with yourself before this episode.I tried to unalive myself about 2 years ago. There are some things I haven't talked about. I finally sit down and breakdown what really happened that night. Some things I am not proud of, but I think it is so important to shed light on what really happens when we are going through a mental health crisis. I will be walking you through how I got to such a dark place, what was going through my mind, and why I decided to not go through with it. This surprisingly was not a hard episode for me to record. I have healed since these events and grown so much from hitting rock bottom. I think it is crucial to share what really happens to people in crisis so we can have insight on what could be someones reality. You can live in Hell and grow from it - as painful as it is. Being stuck in a victim mentality really pushed me down deeper in my trauma. I made some mistakes along the way but I am very grateful for this version of me. Everyone's path is different - I just hope someone can take something from this episode. I love you so much. If you need help please reach out to https://988lifeline.org or call 988 for help.

What is it really like working in the restaurant industry? I am joined with my friends Amber and Adria as we walk you through our experiences as bartenders and servers. Collectively we have over 25 years in the food industry. In this line of work, you tend to get desensitized to human interaction. We have all had our fair share of ups and downs. Some of us put a brave face on in the middle of chaos, and other times we cry in the back so customers cannot see us. This industry is not for the weak, it will chew you up and spit you out if you let it. If you do it long term you have to be prepared to face some uncomfortable moments and challenging days. How did we start out in this line of work? How are the customers? What was it like during Covid? How bad are the drugs? Did we ever date coworkers? How much money do we make? What are the creepiest moments we had to endure, and WHY are we still doing this to ourselves? So come hang out with us while we break it down and expose some of the weirdest and cringiest stories. You are guaranteed to laugh and have ‘WTF' moments with this one.

TW: Talks of suicide, death, and abuse of minors.Bullying has been around since forever, but with the increased access to social media it has only become worse. Our youth is subjected to not only in school bullying, but now the bullies can get them where it hurts, online. This is the story of Adriana and Mallory, only 14 and 12 years old when they decided to end their lives. These young girls gained national attention and shook many of us to our core. What you will hear is heartbreaking, but it is so important to note that this could have been prevented. The negligence displayed by adults who are in power to protect children, failed, absolutely failed these children. **If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts please call or text 988 for help - you are not alone**Mallory's Law/New Jersey's Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights - https://www.njasa.net/Page/2254Video Of Adriana's Assault - https://www.nbcnewyork.com/on-air/as-seen-on/video-shows-nj-school-hallway-attack-in-adriana-kuch-case/4097494/

Hi - we are discussing why I left my job recently. Do not do what I did and stay at a toxic job for too long. I regret not reporting these people to HR for their gross behaviors, and from now on I will not let people treat me in these ways ever again. Be kind to others but do not take any shit. Learn from my mistakes and stand up for yourself. Do not try to be nice just to keep the peace. And if someone is treating you like garbage? Talk to management EVERY TIME, HR, anyone - until someone hears you and does something about it. I am still learning and I hope you all can take something from this episode. I think when we allow people to treat us unfairly it is a mirror into how we think we deserve to be treated. Self love is hard and I am finding my way through respecting myself, and how I want others to respect me. Sometimes we have to learn it the hard way. I let this job slowly break me down in the worst way. I am still angry with how things have played out, but life keeps moving and I have to keep up, learn, and grow. Onto the next chapter. Follow me!
