guys, I know the last episode traumatized some of you. Here is a hypomanic "look on the bright side of child sexual abuse and rape" little add-on lmao. bipolar disorder ftw? happy full blue moon? sincerely, a lunatic.

Manic in Miami presents Black Girl Uninterrupted. Florida Woman to Florida native. Bipolar 1 to Bipolar 2.

Guest Jamila discusses her own diagnosis, her work with NAMI, mental health in the black community, intergenerational trauma and her experiences with racism and social expectations. Crushing irony: white girl interrupted Jamila in the episode (I think.) Sorry, Jam.

Follow me, but people keep getting scared of my content and unfollowing (no one gets my bewildering, maladaptive humor tho): https://instagram.com/hollyhearingthings/

I contacted Jamila on Instagram way back when because she is a fellow mental health account with a fantastic username. We share the same dedication to spreading mental chillness for us all.

(*special note: I was inspired to rewatch Girl, Interrupted after this. Between Winona Ryder observing the patients (in one of her signature "pensive, forlorn journal writing" roles, mind you) and Angelina Jolie's cheekbones, butt chin, and level of crazy...and my own mental illness which was thriving when the film debuted...I DID have to turn it off to protect my mental stability haha. Good movie though.)

what's coming very soon [I was psychotic] and just a few inspirational passages to get you through the week! somehow all in 3 minutes

This is a great episode!!! *yes...so sorry that you're receiving this twice. I couldn't move beyond the tiny glitch at the beginning and posted a second video. I replaced it with a reel, and everyone can deal. and cheel.

Special Guest Dr. Scott Fisher, a South Florida psychiatrist specializing in psychedelic research and the support, psychotherapy, and integration elements of psychedelic healing experiences.

I describe my ego death experiences. hehe. One during a suicidal bipolar tropical depression.

Dr. Fisher joins me for an in-person video podcast to discuss psychedelics and mental health, healing trauma, progressive thoughts on mental illness + the DSM, the role of psychedelics in mental healthcare and the clinical method for psychedelic treatment, among other things.

Two bipolar mood disordered ladies who have been psychotic (which at times feels somewhat erotic). I don't know what to label anyone anymore. Am I really schizoaffective? It doesn't matter. ANYWAY. My former remote French podcast guest and I met in Paris!!! We recorded in Luxembourg Gardens on a gorgeous late Spring day! The intro is back in Miami on a dreary day with an exhausted and somewhat morose Holly Hurricane. I have a few clips from our first episode together at the end. We sang Live Forever at karaoke because, in our search for karaoke common ground, we realized the lyrics are somewhat manic and make a good point in the context of psychosis: We see things y'all sane people will never see.

17 min fairly short, all things considered.
