Summary
Halley and Jaz are finally back on the couch after a whirlwind couple of weeks, and this episode doesn’t hold back. Halley shares the full story of her week-long hospital stay after a brutal ulcerative colitis flare-up that left her in constant pain and doubting herself. from gaslighting her own symptoms to finally realizing she needed urgent care, she opens up about the mental toll of chronic illness, the long nights in the ER, and the fear of potentially losing her colon.
the episode balances heavy and hilarious as Halley recounts absurd hospital moments: nurses melting plastic into her food, the fight for a private room, and doctors giving her conflicting diet advice. Jaz keeps the energy steady, while also finding humor in the chaos. together, they highlight what it’s really like to navigate a health crisis, from anxiety spirals to unexpected gratitude when the right medication finally works.
but it’s not all hospitals and IV drips. as the besties dive back into their usual blend of life updates and pop culture chatter: golf trips to Wisconsin, moving drama, TikTok spirals, Kylie Jenner lip combos, and the possibility of seeing Justin Bieber headline Coachella. it’s an episode that feels raw, real, and ridiculous: a mix of health diaries, best friend therapy, and the kind of unfiltered chaos that makes Delusional Diaries your favorite.
