The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Aw, you miss them.

Yeah, you miss your little liar?

You miss laying in bed next to someone who lied to your face,

puddling your little gas later. That's what you miss? Cute. Text him then. Go ahead. In fact, he probably won't even notice that you texted him and he'll get lost in the sea of messages from other girls. That felt really mean. I'm sorry. I'm not going to be that mean for the rest of this episode.

I am going to hold your hand. I promise. Give it to me. If you've ever broken no contact,

tuxed your ex, only to immediately feel absolutely filled with self-hate, shame, you want to throw your phone in the ocean. This episode is for you.

Welcome to Don't Think.

This is the podcast for anyone who feels like they just need a break from their own brain.

I'm your host, Carla Banzan, and I'm no stranger to the pain of heartbreak, yearning.

I'm a huge yearner, not to be confused with a huge learner.

I almost never learn, especially when it comes to men in relationships.

But today we're talking about the distinct and special cruel pain of missing people who we can't beat with.

This could be for any reason. Maybe we can't be with them because they treat us like absolute shit. Maybe we can't be with them because all of our friends and family hate them because they treat us like shit. Or maybe they just don't love us anymore. Maybe they left us for somebody else. Whatever the reason is, the feeling of missing somebody you can't see, you can't speak to, you can't be with. So this episode, it's not just about breakups, it's breakups, it's breakdowns, and a

little bit of breakthroughs as well. So whether you're currently in a relationship that

maybe you're thinking you want to leave, but you're not sure how to do it, or maybe you're going

through a breakup or you've went through one recently and you're still struggling with that. Or even if you're

happily married, but you dated some huge losers in the past, this is going to hit home for you.

If you've never been heartbroken, then maybe just, like, leave us alone. Let us have this

episode as our one thing. You can just go do whatever

people who have never been heartbroken do, like play with butterflies or some shit. I didn't

interview for the podcast the other day and I was asked, what is the one piece of advice
