[@michaelramsey82]

It's definitely funnier than my initial thought, which was to just use Skywalker.

[@iammimi5060]

Hey qt I’m only 3 mins in but I just wanna say that using pharmaceuticals to get back to a baseline after trauma is totally ok!!!! And the fact that you say that every day you feel a lil less anxiety means it is working so don’t judge yourself!!!!!! You totally wouldn’t judge another person for the stuff you judge yourself for so try to remember that when you feel impatient w yourself post-trauma ❤

[@LegitCactus]

Thank you queen, because I also needed to hear this 👑 :]

[@lordcrow7721]

as someone with diagnosed depression i relate immensely to qt, honestly I thought being perpetually guilty and depressed all the time was completely normal and was shocked to discover that other people don't really think that way, and honestly its difficult for me to understand how they're able to think in such a positive manner constantly

[@gattogateaux7852]

Learning that Johnathan Hohnathan Bohnathan 's name is actually James really threw me for a loop.

[@KosherCookery]

Feeling guilty because you feel like you're a bad daughter for not feeling sad all the time because your mother died is classic secondary gain (a component of complicated grief). This is like such a clear marker of depression.

[@kyleleehufnagel]

My mom died this past June and I’ve been listening to this podcast as I clean out her house. Makes me sad but I have so many memories of vacations with her and my step father, who passed 13 months before her. Camping on Assateague Island with the wild horses who eat your screen room tents and the inexplicable Japanese Sika Deer, who were introduced to the barrier islands in the early 1900’s and have no fear of humans because they have never been predated upon there, which just kinda chill around you. I miss her. I miss my whole family. My stepfather passed in May of 2021, my Dad the December of 2021, and my Mom the June of 2022. Life happens fast folks. Write in a journal, take lots of pictures, ask them about their lives and growing up. Your parents, if they aren’t awful, are infinite resource of joy but they are finite themselves. Just ask them to tell you stories about their lives. They are probably a little lonely too. Ok. I gotta not cry. Great pod. Thanks for doing it. *edit* Lmao the “Lost Off: List who you’ve lost” happened immediately after this and I feel like an asshole lol

[@DontPanic23]

Tomorrow i find out how many months my mom has to live and QT saying "let's have a lost-off, everybody list who you've lost" sent me into the strangest laughing/sobbing fit

LMAO gotta love the original maya thumbnail 😭

[@cking346]

Easing my anxiety to know QT switched from Benadryl (extremely bad thing to take chronically unless you absolutely have to) to benzos (genuinely safer than benadryl)

[@GGGmod1]

First time i heard about benzos was in metal gear solid 5. You can make em with plants naturally found in afghanistan

[@Nonresponder01]

The hat man didn't claim another one

[@Dawson_]

The problem with benzodiazepines is that they generally have a super long half life, so the drug and its metabolites stay in your system for a long time. If you do develop a dependency on them through chronic use you absolutely must seek medical help to withdraw because like alcohol they have the ability to legitimately kill you dead if you go cold turkey. Not saying this is the case for QT but it's something to be aware of. They are a great drug in terms of efficacy though.

[@cking346]

@@Dawson_ Of course! It's the lesser of two evils between that and benadryl. Trazadone is a good and effective option for insomnia especially when the insomnia is causing significant distress. Benzo addiction is awful and the withdrawal from significant use can be fatal, but taking it for sleep every night typically does not rise to that level though every person is different.

[@snacker66]

​@G Channel you can also make heroin with those same plants

[@User3747.a]

I’ve never connected the Disney week and why QT does it and I feel like I understand her more. I’m glad you’re able to be with family and loved ones during that time. I cant imagine how hard that must be. Sending lots of love to you QT!

[@Jake-do3ly]

Maya should have a small segment where she talks about her conservation stuff, like a recommendation of the week or something

[@taylifts]

Ever since I've been struggling more with dissociation I've been SUPER sensitive to any changes or differences in my body. I was somewhat paranoid to start with so I can definitely understand where QT's hypochondria comes from

[@xjshipp]

[@xjshipp]

(guy from baltimore)

[@allyjay7395]

I can relate to the survivors guilt, my mom also died when I was young and I think there was anger. I was angry at other people for not understanding my pain or appreciating their moms. I was angry she was gone and left me even though i know it wasn't her fault but I still needed her. I was angry she wasn't a better mother when she was alive and I was angry at myself for not being okay and at peace with her passing. It just felt like this insurmountable mountain of rage and sadness and emptiness and pain that made my heart feel so heavy like it might fall out of my butt. It's just something you learn to live with over time and it never really goes away. There will be hard days of course but I think it's normal to think about their absence often. It's a deep, tragic and traumatizing loss and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it one way or the other for thinking or not thinking about them too often or not often enough. Appreciate the ones you have while they're here and try to always keep in mind that everyones time will come and every day is a blessing. We all wish we could be better and go back in time but we're only human and part of maturity is slowly learning to accept things beyond our control even if it wasn't in the past, it is now. Be kind to yourself, love yourself the way you wish they could and if you need to cry about it, let it all out. And if you don't, that's fine too, there's nothing wrong with you, we all process things in our own way in our own time.

[@meowdy4294]

Oh my god, I went to Disney on Mother’s Day too and cried about my mom. 😂❤️

[@sriver004]

I am so thankful for this podcast and for both QT and Maya for opening up and helping us all feel a little less (or maybe more?) crazy. 💜

[@ags5409]

In regards to QT saying she wants to get her niece a service dog, I have an uncle in California that breeds and trains labs to be service dogs! He raises them for 6 months and then gives them to people with disabilities, diabetes, mental illnesses, whatever. It's super awesome and the dogs are incredible

hello! just wanted to say that wine about jt has helped me have a distraction in getting back into the gym while also thinking about my selfcare- its a nice podcast to highlight these things. youre both great content creators, glad youre back!

[@rebeccastewart5579]

also I deal with dissociation for about 5 years now and benzos helped me rest while processing- I hope it helps you too qt! Maya's point about anger also makes sense, there's a great book called 'women on anger' which might be a good read for you both if interested. have nice days!

[@rebeccastewart5579]

wait sorry- the book is called 'burn it down: women on anger'

[@ryce3714]

As someone with a service dog, a good handler's dog will absolutely love their job. My boy gets SO excited when he hears the word "work" or I get his harness out. I actually don't leave the house very much anymore and he gets genuinely depressed when he can't work. He immediately acts SUPER serious when the vest goes on, chest puffed up, perfect heel, totally proper. He also LOVES people but he hates to get any attention or pets when he's on duty, he was just trained to have a great on/off switch when working. At home he's just like any other dog, he barks at the door and through fences, he jumps around and wags his tail, but he tries to work even off duty sometimes because he just loves it. Retrieving items is his favorite. For the record, service dogs can do a multitude of things, and QT might actually benefit from one! My boy started out as a psychiatric service dog for severe dissociation and OCD and could alert to panic attacks the same way diabetic alert dogs do, but with my health declining he now does mobility work, item retrieval, and blood pressure alerts. He's a very good boy and he loves what he does and gets paid in pets, treats, and enrichment. Any dog that didn't like their job would be "washed out" and become a pet instead of a service dog! And you might see a lot of service dogs at Disney because it's actually one of the most (and maybe only) amusement parks that have the accessibility features required for handlers to go. They have at least one kennel for service dogs at every ride! Disney is a must for every service dog handler "influencer" type lol, there are tons of service dog meet ups there frequently

[@ryce3714]

Some tasks psychiatric service dogs COULD perform btw: specialized deep pressure therapy, guide work to get out of crowds/buildings & forward momentum pull for catatonia and dissociation, reminding you to take your meds & bringing you your meds, nightmare interruption, self harming behavior interruptions, tactile stimulation (licking) or an otherwise trained panic attack response, crowd control as well as blocking crowds in front or behind you, get help from a trusted person, alert to various things like incoming anxiety or intense anger, check if something is a hallucination, remind of various routines, get you in/out of bed, find and retrieve lost items, alert when others approach, and brace or counterbalance for a handler that might have trouble standing. They're life changing little guys for some people. :>

[@magicalstorme5886]

The matching pj pants is so adorable 😂 but this is legit the only podcast I watch, it’s so calming

[@danielknower4774]

Hey QT, I hope you read this and get something from it. Im a 29 yr old dude, I listen to wine about it sometimes and enjoy it. But I wanted to chime in about Trazodone. I think with regards to benzos, its a far better solution for sleep. It's well studied and not harmful to your brain long term. When I moved in with my girlfriend it messed up my sleep alot, and i've never had trouble sleeping before. Trazodone helped a lot. I recommend starting with as low a dose as possible and try it for a few days. I started with 50, and it worked great, so I started splitting them into 25's. Worked great. Then i got to the point where i could sleep well with 12.5mg. this was about over the course of a year. I eventually stopped them and just take magnesium now and I'm doing well. But trazodone worked wonders when I was at my lowest, barely sleeping. I really hope it works out for you, it's a way better solution long term than benzos.

[@echin9372]

i love this pod so much 😊😊

[@bibubbletea]

Talking about the Mother’s Day conversation and feeling guilty, I’m someone who lost my dad years ago but I dealt with it surprisingly well ( to give some background idk if I’m just blessed to have had a good upbringing which resulted in good mental health or if one day the other shoe will drop or something and I’ll break down, could be either) But I think having thoughts like that is normal but not being able to move past them is not. Like one thing that bothers me endlessly is the time my dad tried to play minecraft with me but he didn’t know we couldn’t play with different computers using the same account, and I wish I had pursued it and like asked my mom for another minecraft account for a birthday or saved up myself or something so I could have played with him (he was broke and had no money to spend on fun things at the time) and I wish I had that experience of sharing something I loved with him. I regret that. But thinking about that doesn’t like ruin my day. It doesn’t ruin my day when I put effort into things with my mom because I hadn’t always put that effort in with my dad. It doesn’t even ruin my afternoon or hour. It’s something I’m able to move past and make my peace with because I can’t change the past, I can only learn from my mistakes, realize that I was much younger at the time and couldn’t have known I didn’t have more years to spend with him, and all I can do now is try to do better with my other loved ones. I can’t beat myself up over not playing minecraft with my dad forever and QT if you ever somehow read this, you shouldn’t beat yourself up over not going to Disney with your mom forever. Neither of our parents would want that from us. And I hope one day you can get to a better mental health place and you might be able to make peace with that as well. Sending love.

I get were qt is coming from my family does a similar thing but the way I think about it is that we are honoring them and we are sharing the memory with them like they are coming and staying with us so they are a part of it; which is odd because I don’t believe in ghosts, it just feels like a way to let them know they weren’t forgotten and they mean something still.

I love the creepy stories! I believe in that stuff more and more as I get older. I took care of my grandma who had Parkinson’s and the night before she passed (I had a camera in her room so I could always make sure she was fine) I put her to bed as usual and I saw 6 glowing orbs floating around her room and then she shot up in bed just staring for about 20 second and than laid back down. She passed away the next morning around 6 am. I believe those orbs were loved ones helping her to the the other side. One of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Even my parents witnessed it and they don’t believe in that stuff. They are still shocked about it lol

QT the thing about your mom saying your name out of sleep I believe has a scientific basis, there's a word I forget for basically when you're in the 'half sleep' state when you're waking up, where you hear sounds and sometimes voices as well as some other sensations. I looked it up, it's called hypnagogia. Look it up, it's as I described. I have had the same thing before (mom is alive lol)

[@xmhcix5310]

this happens to me a lot when i fall asleep/am half asleep watching a video sometime, especially when i'm trying to stay awake to watch it. when i start to doze off it literally sounds like talking or like screaming from my brain - that's such a bizarre way to explain it but it's true

How skin walkers are described is exactly how people with schizophrenia describe their delusions. Also lots of these sightings happen in southern Utah where there is a huge problem with meth abuse which also overloads dopamine like schizophrenia does causing delusions.

[@Bibblesupremacy1992]

[@sophiak855]

QT (and anyone struggling to understand their minds) should look into psychological theories on depression and other psychic disorders. Academic research has helped me understand how and why I think and behave a certain way and in turn the knowledge has influenced me to consciously improve myself. If anyone is interested, Beck's cognitive theory of depression and the thematic triad of negative thoughts is an interesting theory on the origin of depression!
