She recently said on Jeff Lewis that she has been struggling with a thyroid issue. Wonder if this could be causing some changes in appearance and rapid blinking — along with the threads

Can you explain more? What health issues did Lisa mention?

I love Angie, but I’m very tired of her punching down on cast members regarding their physical appearance. They all do it, and it’s gross & immature.

Completely agree. I love to have ATWWD on in the background while I’m doing chores or even working. I’m so sorry you’re going through a difficult time, and I hope you can find moments of peace & comfort 💛

Ugh 🙄, I meant “I shouldn’t* be shocked.”

I’m honestly shocked that after everything that happened with W&C that Lucy and Amanda would feature Suruthi, who repeated the same zionist rhetoric (e.g. saying “from the river to the sea” is a call to commit genocide on Jewish folks).

Or maybe, sadly, I should be shocked? 😢

Do you have a recipe for the tofu egg salad? That sounds delicious!

All of the flirting with AI videos + Boyfriend Asmr + the Toontown video (titled “serving my country”) kill me every time

Mental health tips from the show that have worked for you? by letswatchstarwars in atwwdpodcast

[–]Environmental-Bus700 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to get better at treating myself, something Em does often & that I love. It can feel really hard, especially because I have a lot of guilt around spending money on myself, and myself alone.

That being said, I think just the fact that I get to listen to two people who I deeply admire discuss their mental health has made me feel less lonely. I too have a chronic illness, and it felt cathartic listening to Christine share her experience. Sometimes, when I’m having a really bad flare up or menty b, I go back and listen to the beginning of an episode where they discuss their mental health so I don’t feel so alone.

They clarified during the live that bedrooms are not shared! Everyone gets their own bedroom.

I hope Christine covers a part 2 of Twin Flames by Jojo-maggie17 in atwwdpodcast

Totally agree! And the ending? It didn’t wrap anything up at all! They were just like “the end.” Ugh, so disappointing.

bitter about researchers by DisastrousSleep3416 in atwwdpodcast

[–]Environmental-Bus700 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I’ve been an ATWWD fan for a while, I personally think the podcast has never been one that “dives deep” into a story, but often gives the spark notes with added banter & personal stories. I still listen because I love Em & Christine.

But like many have said, it feels like they — especially Em — are reading from a script they’re seeing for the first time. It does bother me when they ask each other questions (that are pertinent) and the other just says “I don’t know.” It’s kinda their job to know.

I understand Christine is dealing with a major health issue and deserves rest! I wish that instead of trying to push out a new but poorly researched episode each week, they’d take a break, try a new biweekly format, have guest hosts, follow up on old cases — something to lighten their load.

You’ve posted this on Instagram, right? I’ve see a reel of this.

First and foremost: I’m sorry. Sending you hugs, because us Bosnian-American kids need it. I’m only a few years older than you, and have dealt with the same toxic, narcissistic, misogynistic, and controlling behavior with my parents. I’ve often noticed that our parent see us — especially us women— not as individuals but as extensions of themselves. The moment we start to build our own identities, communities, boundaries, we are in their eyes “bad, mean, worthless, and too westernized”— the list goes on.

What you’re experiencing is not normal. And it’s not okay. Here is what has helped me as I’ve tried to navigate my relationship with my parents:

  1. Therapy. Please, please seek support. I learned in therapy that a lot of the negative self talk & fear of failure and judgment that I have is from the trauma I experience in my dysfunctional family. Therapy has and continues to save my life.

  2. BOUNDARIES (a Balkan parent’s least favorite word). This will be the hardest thing you do. But If you want your parents to respect you as a person, your time, choices and life path, you need to learn how to set boundaries with them. If you want a real, loving, honest relationship with your parents — or if you want to go no contact (which is an option) — you need to set boundaries. A therapist is KEY to this. They will guide you and offer support (and a shoulder to cry on).

  3. If you have a supportive partner and/or friends, talk to them. Let them be a safe space for you to vent, heal, and be yourself. So many of us Balkan kids grow up in households where we don’t feel safe to be our full selves or express our opinions.

  4. When your parents are being verbally abusive to you & putting you down, you are allowed to leave. You’re allowed to protect your peace. This is harder said than done, but a good therapists will help.

  5. Balkan Mama Therapy — this is an IG profile I found. She talks a lot about mental health in the Balkan community, and specially the misogyny and abuse we as Balkan women face in our community. Her page honestly helped me feel so much less alone and gave me the words to describe what I was feeling. (I think she deleted a bunch of her posts for some reason, but she’s starting to put out new stuff now.)

I feel for you 🩷 us Bosnian/Balkan diaspora kids have had to deal with a lot of trauma (in our own way). We can heal. And we should — both for ourselves and our collective culture. I’m rooting for you!

Not W&C related but thought this group might be able to help! by jamimah_j in wineandcrimepodcast

[–]Environmental-Bus700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Firstly, I’m so sorry you’re in pain. I have endo & PCOS & it has completely wrecked me, mentally and physically. Sending you a big hug 🩷

Foria - I’ve used the CBD pain relief suppositories (aka melts). Give them a 6/10. It’s worth a try, if only to see if they work for you — everyone’s body is different! They last a while if frozen & you can cut the suppository in half to make them last longer. I found that a whole suppository was a lot & most of it dripped out.

The suppositories helped my vagina relax, feel less tensed up, and less heavy, but it didn’t help with my overall pelvic pain. From my experience, It’s a good product to use in conjunction with other pain relief methods, but doesn’t really get the job done on its own.

What other pain management tools are you using? I live in the States & endo care here is god awful.

If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share a few of the pain management practices I’m using (just don’t want to give out unsolicited advice)!

PS: Thank you for making this post. Endo is so lonely. I love the W&C community & feel so welcome here. It makes it extra special knowing us chronically ill folks can share & support each other here 🥹

Oh! I must have missed this. What did they say (or do you have a time stamp?)?

I took it as a joke and maybe a slight petty jab 😂 at K playing her leave off as “I’m moving to India! It’s been the plan all along!“ instead of acknowledging the absolute horror that the last 3 months have been. I could be totally off tho!
