Manic & Medicated

It’s the most wonderful time of the year - is it though? Some of us are basking in absolute happiness, while others are hanging on by a thread. Let's discuss why babies make me cry, what it’s really like being single during the holidays, being left empty handed in the dating world, waiting games, validity in your bitter bitch era, and fears to share with your therapist.

The restaurant industry is COLD… I recently had to deal with yet another mean girl. But this time? BABY we are taking the HIGH road! I document a real fight that occurred between a mentally unstable, ex-coworker and I. This is a reminder to be nicer to each other - but also TAKE NO SHIT. You can be the star shining bright, don’t ever give someone the power to make you feel inferior to them. I hope...

TW: We will be discussing food disorders (bulimia, anorexia & binging).  Food issues and disorders can be really tricky. Where do they come from? Why do some of us restrict, while others might binge? Is it possible to have issues with both? I take you inside the mind of someone who uses food as a form of control. But where does it stem from? Is there hope for recovery? And when should I be ask...

*Recorded on Nov 6th 2023* It’s Scorpio Season and a NEW season of Manic & Medicated! Yesterday we celebrated my 31st birthday and Season 3 of the podcast! It wouldn’t be a celebration if I wasn’t late to it. Let’s talk about some life updates, crying at Starbucks, the cops calling me, going back to school, why I spoke to my ex boyfriend, MassHealth, future plans & more! Thank you for the...

I went to the Pitbull, Ricky Martin & Enrique Iglesias concert. Yes, all of them were in attendance - these are my honest thoughts on the performance. What happened after the concert was definitely the highlight of my night. It’s funny, because last episode I spoke about how we need to be nicer to strangers in our real life. Humanity really upsets me because when we try to have a fun night, th...

Helloooo fellow humans. I know everyone is in a state of sadness and despair so let's have a little chat and get real. I love to mix giggling and the state of the world together - it's a manic episode and I love having raw, off the rail conversations with you guys. Send me a message in the DMs on Instagram if you ever wanna chat about this episode or past episodes! Love you, mean it. xox...

*episode recorded 3 weeks ago* Well, long time no talk - I had a mammogram that got a little wild, a stranger got in my car after I said no, debunking rumors that I'm dating my guy friend, falling in love with a security guard, pen!s slideshow in Boston, dating red flags NOBODY talks about, and my cringey first date. Enjoy. Link to Blog: https://c1992mccarthy.wixsite.com/sbeauty Support The S...

I downloaded Hinge for the first time in years. It's honestly so funny and I’m learning to not take myself so seriously. Am I trying to find my husband or potential partner? No. Am I leaning into self loathing and outside sources to raise up my confidence in a pathetic attempt to feel better? Maybe. But who cares? Let’s chat about depression, feelings of worth, and why the standard for dating...

I’m spilling the tea on the guy I recently dated - lemme tell you, it went to shit, lol. But I definitely learned a lot about myself and what I truly want in a partner. Dating sucks - the revolving door of asking people, ‘What’s your favorite color?’ mixed in with our shared experiences of childhood trauma gets old… but I’m not going to give up on the idea that someone is out there that’s perfect...

Some girls get a new haircut, a pair of shoes, or get a fresh set of nails done when they are feeling off - I opt for a new experience. So… I decided to go skydiving. This is the full story of how I ended up attached to a stranger at 10,000 ft in the sky. Some people will call me crazy, while others know exactly why I chase after a new challenge. And, no, I did not shit myself. Skydiving: https://...

I have my sister back on and we are discussing - dating, babies, dogs, debt, social media, medical stories, panic attacks, Sims, why I think everyone hates me, insecurities, hair loss, nervous tics, stims, moving, New England living, illegal tattoos, pumpkin spice lattes up the ass, discussing the future, a lot of giggling & more.

Putting everyone above yourself often results in feeling burnt out, resentful, and/or questioning what you want. I talk about why I'm no longer a people pleaser - toxic things I would do, gift giving, love languages, and an update on my last visit to the doctors. Ladies, check ya tits, and be your own advocate. If something feels off or weird consult a doctor ALWAYS, and if you still feel wei...

TW/CW: Talks of death, suicide & trauma - check in with yourself before continuing on with this episode. I sit down with someone from my past, and we get into some really deep conversation. I haven’t spoke to Dana since our time in high school, so we have a lot to catch up on. We’re talking about childhood, panic attacks, self harm, medication, therapy, toxic relationships, breakups, death of...

Helllllo, and welcome to another episode where I have absolutely no direction and talk off the cuff. I have been having issues with my hair. I got ghosted by a guy I was never dating. Choosing forgiveness over being a cut throat bitch. I am finally looking at the glass half full in life. And WHY is negativity and being in a victim state so addictive? Just a bunch of girly things that I know you bi...

Helllllo, in today’s episode I will be going over my unfortunate run in with my ex, what happened at the doctor today, why I am now going to enjoy the journey and ignore the destination, and what are my ‘highs’ and ‘lows’/my likes and dislikes. If you enjoy banter, rants, and comedy, this one is for you! Support The Show: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/manicandmed IG/TikTok: @manicandmedicated_ Emai...

Just this week a high school student, near me, has passed away in what looks like a suicide. Her classmates have since reached out to me to see if I would speak to their school about suicide prevention. They feel as if they would benefit from someone speaking to them with real life experiences. I am calling on my listeners in the Massachusetts area to speak with your schools. I want to meet with p...

I’ve been known to put a lot of time and effort into my jobs. I’ve always been a workaholic, and now I know my worth. I’m tired of not living up to my potential. Now I’m speaking up for myself, putting my foot down, and taking no shit. Also, discussing my pending skydiving experience, weird ex-coworkers, and why ignoring people is better than being a bitch.

TW: Graphic talks of suicide - check in with yourself before this episode. I tried to unalive myself about 2 years ago. There are some things I haven’t talked about. I finally sit down and breakdown what really happened that night. Some things I am not proud of, but I think it is so important to shed light on what really happens when we are going through a mental health crisis. I will be walking y...

TW: talks of abuse and suicide You ever find yourself so full of emotions that you could burst at the seams? I threw the mic on and decided to walk you through some feelings. I think you can all relate to them. Fighting with someone you love. It sucks. There are times you do not see eye to eye and it is painful. I also discuss my love for Jeffree Star and Miley Cyrus, why I am so damn lonely… but...

What is it really like working in the restaurant industry? I am joined with my friends Amber and Adria as we walk you through our experiences as bartenders and servers. Collectively we have over 25 years in the food industry. In this line of work, you tend to get desensitized to human interaction. We have all had our fair share of ups and downs. Some of us put a brave face on in the middle of chao...

CW: Talks of abuse, body image & trauma What is PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)? Let’s talk about what people with PTSD experience, triggers & how do you ‘get’ it? Also, what happened to me when I got triggered recently, what you should NEVER do around people with PTSD (or in general) & how PTSD presents. Alsooooo, speaking on why your trauma is NOT your fault, an update on my bo...

Hiiii... I'm going to be posting sporadically for now, but I wanted to catch you all up to speed on what's been going on. I've been working on a secret project, while I'm still writing my book. A lot of exciting things to look forward to - but, let's giggle about my experiences at Savers and Joann Fabrics today and why I'm off socials right now. I LOVE CRAZY PEOPLE. ...
