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.

🔑 Key Points:

In this fascinating and dark episode of Stressed Depressed & Anxious, your Local Neighborhood Baby dives deep into the world of narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths with criminal psychology expert Cameron Harman. Cameron brings his unique insights from his experience working with inmates in maximum-security jails and his extensive research into dark personalities. Throughout the episode, they explore how these personalities manifest in real life, how to spot red flags, and the effects these individuals have on their relationships and society.

🎧 Listener Advisory:

⚠️ Trigger Warning:
We explore real-life case studies and behaviors of narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths, which might be emotionally challenging for some listeners. If these topics are difficult for you, proceed with caution or feel free to skip this episode.

Buckle up, my little babies, because this episode is a wild ride! In "Politically Incorrect," I sit down with Adam, John, and Matt—three white males with diverse and passionate political opinions. Recorded in early August, this episode dives deep into the political rabbit hole, featuring heated debates, strong opinions, and plenty of back-and-forth arguments.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains charged political discussions that some listeners might find uncomfortable or disagreeable. If you prefer to steer clear of intense political debates, you might want to skip this one. But if you're curious about how people with vastly different views can passionately argue, challenge each other, and still walk away as friends, this episode is for you.

What to Expect:

Important Note: The opinions expressed in this episode reflect those of the guests at the time of recording in early August. Some opinions, including my own, may have evolved since then, so keep that in mind as you listen.

Apologies: A quick heads-up—there are a few audio disfluencies throughout the episode. The conversation gets pretty heated at times, and you’ll notice some moments where everyone’s talking over each other. The best was done to clean it up, but hey, that’s the nature of passionate debate!

Call to Action:

Before you dive in, make sure you’re registered to vote! Your voice matters, and every vote counts. Whether you’re deeply entrenched in your political beliefs or just here for the ride, this episode is sure to get you thinking. Tune in, and if you’re feeling brave, drop your thoughts in the comments or over on the r/sdanxious subreddit.

Remember, it’s all about engaging in these conversations, even when they’re tough. That’s how we move forward—together.

As always, have a day, month, week, year free of stress, depression, and anxiety. Love you all! Bye!
