Welcome to Just Break Up, the podcast about love, heartbreak, and all the relationship advice you don't want to hear.

My name is Sierra DeMolder.

And I'm Sam Blackwell.

And today we're going to answer a letter from someone whose brain has started looking for threats in her relationship where there aren't any.

That's so funny. But before we begin, we just want to give you our Surgeon General's warning,

your other professional mental health resources. We're only here to offer our humble musings to

hopefully shed some understanding and maybe some laughs about the incredibly rewarding,

But first, it's Monday.

was like i was like is that unpopular or is that just fucking art to hear? Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What, like, what's the popular alternative that?
