Honestly it makes me wonder how parents who can’t afford healthcare and therapy in this way raise their children because this is the first time I have heard about someone being so open about debilitating OCD
I LOVE the open mental health/meds conversations sooo much. I literally have been diagnosed with OCD since starting this pod because of what I’ve learned from Brooke
i’m glad i’m not the only one! i have my lifelong struggle with other things under control for the most part but there’s been _something_ there i couldn’t place. brooke helped me realize that, maybe possibly, it could be OCD. these conversations really help more than the creators even realize.
the second jake brought up his favourite glee number but forgot the name i IMMEDIATELY knew it'd be paradise by the dashboard light. one of the best numbers omg i need to go rewatch it immediately.
I’ve rewatched Girls about 4 times, and Jake’s passionate speech about it has caused me to go ahead and queue up season 1 ep 1 as soon as I’m done watching this
Omg. I’ve always had OCD but you just made me remember about how I had an intense fear (8-10 years old) that my mom was going to wake up and kill me in the middle of the night. And she wasn’t even abusive (but she was neglectful)
I’m so here for the talk about OCD. I have that but it comes out in excessive counting. I go up by multiples of 3 or 6 and my brain won’t stop it even when I want to shut it down. I’ve been on meds that help it (the meds are for something else but they just help with OCD tendencies). I’ve also been so someone who gets obsessed with things more than the normal person. Here’s to say I am loving this podcast
Jake is the only other person who I would consider as much a swiftie as I am. Like I know that's delusional but he literally took the words out of my mouth with how passionatelly he spoke about TS.
28:36 Brooke says Glee Teenage Dream was her #1 song on Spotify last year but she told Andrew Barth Feldman that Maneater was her #1… We need to see the Spotify wrapped receipts
First off, my little libra heart just broke in two 💔💔. Second, hearing y’all talk about intrusive thoughts and OCD in a genuine way is so refreshing for someone who has been struggling since I can remember.
brooke we are the SAME. Ive never seen someone else have OCD that is purely mental like me and i had the exact same issues getting diagnosed when i was younger because of it. I have had my 9/11 moments monthly
before jake even said car i just felt in my soul that his song was gonna be paradise by the dashboard light and then i was screaming it at my screen when he couldn’t think of it
I’m not a huge believer in astrology cos so many ppl are wrong about signs but Jake saying “you know what you don’t like about Virgos is that THEY take control” is sooo real. Every Virgo I’ve met is subconsciously dominant in friendships & relationships. Not in a sexual way obviously but yk what I mean
I have NEVER felt so seen and heard in my life than I do right now so thank you brooke ❤️❤️ growing up thinking I was the only kid in therapy and feeling so different. also zoloft + wellbutrin cocktail for life 😘
lmao as someone who has struggled with extreme OCD I’ve never seen it discussed this openly and related to people’s experiences. loved the convo!! also paxil is still prescribed for anxiety, depression, OCD
Brooke I just hit my bink and I know u don’t rewatch ur stuff so u won’t see this but I love u so much. U r just so cool and ik this is so parasocial of me but u feel like my big sister. I sometimes get embarrassed of my obsessiveness bc the ppl I’m obsessed w most likely don’t understand what it’s like but u make me feel seen. It’s so cool seeing what you have been able to accomplish and it makes me proud of how passionate I am ❤❤
