TW/CW: Talks of death, suicide & trauma - check in with yourself before continuing on with this episode.
I sit down with someone from my past, and we get into some really deep conversation. I haven’t spoke to Dana since our time in high school, so we have a lot to catch up on. We’re talking about childhood, panic attacks, self harm, medication, therapy, toxic relationships, breakups, death of family members, Covid, addiction, mediums, and more…

Helllllo, and welcome to another episode where I have absolutely no direction and talk off the cuff. I have been having issues with my hair. I got ghosted by a guy I was never dating. Choosing forgiveness over being a cut throat bitch. I am finally looking at the glass half full in life. And WHY is negativity and being in a victim state so addictive? Just a bunch of girly things that I know you bitches can relate to.
Love you, meant it.

Helllllo, in today’s episode I will be going over my unfortunate run in with my ex, what happened at the doctor today, why I am now going to enjoy the journey and ignore the destination, and what are my ‘highs’ and ‘lows’/my likes and dislikes. If you enjoy banter, rants, and comedy, this one is for you!

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 [email protected] 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, 
Carissa

I’ve been known to put a lot of time and effort into my jobs. I’ve always been a workaholic, and now I know my worth. I’m tired of not living up to my potential. Now I’m speaking up for myself, putting my foot down, and taking no shit. Also, discussing my pending skydiving experience, weird ex-coworkers, and why ignoring people is better than being a bitch.

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. Suicide is not the answer, please seek help.

TW: talks of abuse and suicide
You ever find yourself so full of emotions that you could burst at the seams? I threw the mic on and decided to walk you through some feelings. I think you can all relate to them. Fighting with someone you love. It sucks. There are times you do not see eye to eye and it is painful. I also discuss my love for Jeffree Star and Miley Cyrus, why I am so damn lonely… but not dating & more...

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.
Enjoy!
xoxo,
c.
