Maya's facial expressions in response to some of the stuff QT says are one of the biggest reasons I could never just listen to this podcast.

I can solve this... cancelled my patreon. btw not every fanfiction has to be sexual.. it can be lighthearted and funny too. But thanks to you i save money now.

glad you went to a physiatrist, and ADHD meds do help me a lot. ik you talked about autism the other podcast and i just want to let you know that adhd meds reduces what adhd does but not autism. so everyone would tell me i was different on my meds, like less social and active and stuff like that. well it turns out that by taking my meds the mask i put on for my autism is no longer there. its nothing to freak out about just something you should be aware of.

this is one of the best episodes to drink along with ๐ซ

prozac for anxiety / depression + being diagnosed ADHD halfway through med school saved my life. I was surrounded by high performing people from privileged backgrounds and convinced myself that I was only struggling because Iโm not as good as them. If i hadnโt started meds I probably wouldnโt be a doctor right now and maybe even wouldnโt be here to support your wonderful podcast. Wishing QT all the best with the journey to healing. Xo

I resisted being on meds when I was younger (didn't do recreational drugs, was "straight edge" pretty much) but it got to a point where I couldn't really function due to my anxiety/obsessiveness. I've tried a lot of different meds since then and while they can be a pain in the ass (and some just didn't work for me at all), I think they may have saved my life ultimately.It can be a bit of a ride to find the one that works best for you, but once you experience the benefits of being on them, you'll probably want to see things through. In terms of cost, always ask the doc if there's a generic version of the drug available, and you can use the app GoodRx for coupons to save on the price. Pharmacies know what that is and will accept it. I'll also add that maintenance medications like SSRIs aren't really abusable, so you don't have to worry so much. Xanax and stuff, yeah those can be scary. Good luck

Double hinged bottle opener is what Maya needs. Butterfly openers like the one she has never take out the wine cork fully. That's why you need to pull it out.

I've yet to find another individual/friend who would also tolerate my cathartic thoughts. It feels next to impossible without someone thinking I'm psychotic, bi-polar or suffering from dissociative identity/multiple personality disorder; although, I've never had a formal diagnosis. I just can't bring myself to trust another to a point of calling them a friend or even desire friendship anymore, but I can vicariously experience what it's like to have fun with a friend when I watch you two. It sure does seem nice

As a fellow no mom haver, I laughed and cried when maya answered her mom for the things sheโs grateful for. Oh how I feel for QT.
Mico
QT has a lot of throwaway comments that are super dark.
Fredrika
Iโm trying to get a diagnosis for adhd because itโs ruining my life ๐ซ
LokeyLB
maya describing her average day vs QT describing a complete fantasy for their perfect days is so on brand for both of them

QT! I used to also have a bad view on meds (shouts out to my toxic family!) and it took me 10 years to FINALLY get a med regimen but it's WORTH IT. If you're nervous about trying new meds, ask your doctor to do a gene test for you! That was what finally helped me get the right meds, it'll tell your doctor what meds will and won't work for you based on your blood & body chemistry!! That cut out so much stress for me and I'm sure it can for you too :)
Han Solo
Did anyone tried to write a romantic fanfiction about these two? Like to read it :-)
Han Solo
That you can talk to each other about anything is pure gold. The falling in love thing was very cool.

I'd just like to say thank you to QT. She has helped me realise I am probably suffering from Dissociative Amnesia, something I previously did not know existed. Her experiences made me question the normality of me forgetting long periods of my life (which coincide with trauma) and now I can start a conversation with a psychiatrist! Always good to be able to put a name to something. Love the pod btw <3

I don't like when people say meds without therapy are useless or harmful. It's like saying therapy without meds is useless, when prescribed by doctor meds alone are better than nothing. Other than that Qt is a queeeeen ๐

Are you guys chilling your white wine?

Qt.

maya and qt saying the worst thing thats ever happened to each other at the same time and then qt dabbing after was simply iconic
LovedFox
Itโs funny you say this because I was thinking the exact opposite this ep! The way they kept bouncing off each other with their traumatic answers every other question had me dying laughing.

you can actually get a cat spayed while she's in heat! there's more blood flow to the area so it's harder to do but it' definitely possible and fine. some places will charge more when they're in heat but mine didn't. Like I literally called them the week of the appointment asking to reschedule bc she was in heat and they were booked out 3 weeks so I was freaking out. anyway they said it was fine! her hormones are going to be a little whack but its the same as being in heat (I think)

your new psychiatrist sounds awesome, QT!!! good ones are very hard to find so you're very lucky. also, ask about VYVANSE, i have adhd, ocd, and severe PTSD and that medication literally changed my life. it was immediate relief within an hour of taking it i began to feel okay for the first time in my entire life. it's expensive tho so you definitely need insurance. i hope you find relief in this journey of healing. i'm so happy to hear that you've a good kind doctor who listens and that you're taking this step!!

I have adhd and suffer from depression as a cause. My Brother aรถso has adhd and he developed ocd from it. Meds have changed my life and enable me to live a normal life. I wish you the best of luck with your mental health qt!
Lemony
mayas perfect day sounds very doable

Loved this ep, I laughed a lot ahha. QT"s obsession with Taylor is very relatable.

Taking vitamins is good for your overall health. But you do not put a band-aid on an open fracture. You get surgery to allow your body to heal. In this metafor the surgery is anti-depressants. Not all od them works on everybody and you have to work with your psychiatrist to find the right one. I myself was extreamly sceptical to taking drugs for my depression but I was not going anywhere but towards an early death. Today thanks to anti-depressants I'm able to live a happy life and the healing I managed to do whilst on them has resulted in me not having to take them anymore.

wrong sides again, is this a game to you?

This ep is really good. We answered along and now me and my gf are officially in love 100% no cap
Jose Marin
That the dynamic between the two is usually really good and both maya and qt riff off each other really well but this week it just seemed off.

I have complex PTSD and I'm going to be getting on meds soon. I'm super nervous about it because I never think I need it. I love that you are talking about your journey because it makes me not feel alone. I hope you both have a great week and enjoy your love for each other โค๏ธ
miriam lopeZ

A yacht can cost multiple millions. What amazes me is that both feel like they had a happy childhood. in light of the traumatic experiences they told us about. Thatโs so cool. I wish I could do the same when thinking about it.
Jose Marin
First episode that felt not as in sync especially as the questions kept coming on. Sending much love cus the struggle is really coming across the screen lately โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Glad it was helpful:)

That's a great rec, thanks for sharing! I'm adding it to my list
KittyCaity95
I highly recommend Lamotrigine (Lamictal) for OCD. It is the only thing that helps me.
VancityRen
Just wanted to add to the list of positive experiences about antidepressants. They certainly have a scary reputation in the US and it can take some time to find the right one and the right dosage, but once you do, they are lifesavers! It's not an instant effect where one day you wake up magically feeling better, but slowly you're able to get there (with the help of therapy too). It can be scary but find a psychiatrist you trust and it will be worth it!
Seth Hastings
Last week's episode inspired me to Read a book about my trauma as well. I ended up getting "treating trauma related dissociation" by Kathy Steele, Suzette Boon, and Onno Van Der Hart. For someone like me who understands and works through things fairly cerebrally, reading a book like this has been super helpful already, I'm only a few chapters in. I will say if you aren't the type of person who makes sense of the world around them in that really academic way, then reading a book targeted towards therapists and doctors might not be good for you, but if you're like me then I highly recommend it.

me and my uni friends did these questions together as a group and it was a great bonding experience (this was also the first time i met one of their girlfriends lol)

*God eating snacks while listen to QT pray* "wait, you'll remain mormon if your parents don't divorce ? *spits a wasabi chip and plays with it nervously * fuck I guess I have to break them up now
Loune
My medications (sertraline and adderal) have seriously helped me and have changed my life for the better. I put off going on meds for a looooooong time due to my upbringing, and it took my doctor some time to convince me. I remember thanking her afterwards, because medication is what enabled me to start making the steps and doing the work towards healing. You got this QT, you wonโt be a pill head, medication is there to make life easier so you can focus on yourself ๐

My mom is from Peru. From what my abuela told me, the government situation there is so bad right now that itโs not necessarily the safest idea to go right now AND you canโt drink any tap water or youโll get E. coli.
