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 principals, superintendents, teachers, anyone. Mental health is REAL, and with the rise of social media and real-world topics weighing heavily on students it is important to have these difficult conversations.
Please send me a DM on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/manicandmedicated_/ OR email me at manicandmedicatedpodcast@gmail.com so I can contact your school.
I would like to visit school systems at the beginning of the next school year.
Thank you for the continued support and your consideration.
Much love,
Carissa
Life updates, grad school, funny stories & new goals. Can't keep a girl down.
Love you, mean it.

This is for all the girls who were terribly disappointed on Valentine’s Day - just know you’re worth it and he’s a god damn LOSER.
I just officially ended things on Valentine's Day with the guy I was dating. I THOUGHT I would be worthy of receiving a rose petal at the very least but all I got was a shrug and a whole lot of nothing. SO, sit back, relax & listen to the terrible misfortune of another failed relationship by yours truly. Proud of myself that there are ZERO tears in this episode only giggles and feminine rage. Also, men, boys… whatever the fuck you are.. do better. And grow the fuck up, because women like me are all set. It’s pathetic. I’m in my hating men era, emotional availability is unfounded, and we are fully unhinged.
Love you, mean it.

Happy 2024!
My year didn’t start off the way I had imagined but that doesn’t mean it’s all bad. Let’s discuss why I had a full blown anxiety attack, my forever changing self image, mental capacity, my first ever therapy session, dynamics in my personal relationships, raising sensitive kids, confidence and why I really hate social media.
Love you, mean it.

I'm doing that TikTok trend where we talk about all the guys we've dated this year. Honestly, it's super therapeutic and funny to talk about the highs and lows of dating in your 30s. The people who I thought were so amazing, ended up being the worst. So cheers, to another year. If this year was unkind to you I hope 2024 is a bit brighter and I'll see you next year.
Love you, mean it.

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 you all have a great Thanksgiving & a healthy/safe time! & I hope this was a great giggle for you!

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 asking for help?
If you are struggling and feel like you may need help please reach out to a professional for assistance. If you feel alone in this struggle my DMs are always open. I am not a medical professional - this episode was created to shed light on the shame that surrounds people struggling.
There is hope for you - you just need to ask for help.
Much Love,
c.

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, there are people out there who are nothing but trash. All you can do is control yourself and sometimes you have to defend yourself. But, I’m not immune from shit talking. Enjoy.
