Summary
Have you ever needed store-bought serotonin because your brain refuses to make its own? Same. This episode dives into what it’s really like to be on (or even consider going on) mental health medication - the stigma, the side effects, and the silence that keeps us all pretending we’re fine. It’s raw, unhinged, and hopefully a reminder that talking about this stuff doesn’t have to be scary or shameful.

| 0:41.3 | lucky, I might get out on furlough once in a while, you know, like maybe I get a little extra |
| 0:46.1 | yard time for good behavior. But it's pretty much a prison with no days off and it's always been |
| 0:52.8 | this way. Speaking of brains being prisons, this week I actually got my first really bad review of the |
| 0:58.4 | podcast. It was a one-star rating and that kind of thing. It doesn't keep me up at night. |
| 1:02.8 | It actually does not bother me. I can handle a bad review. I know I can't. But honestly, |
| 1:07.5 | I can appreciate that taste is subjective. |
| 1:12.0 | Fine. |
| 1:12.9 | But this person had to say that they didn't like the show one star, |
| 1:19.0 | and then they go on to be like, yeah, you know what? |
| 1:21.6 | I want a believer. |
| 1:22.6 | I just can't buy her anxiety. |
| 1:24.4 | I'm just not buying it. |
| 1:26.4 | Boy, does that make me anxious? I mean, I'm faking it, obviously. But if I'm just not buying it. Boy, does that make me anxious? |
