Emo Christmas, understanding anxiety vs. anxious OCD, and the dramatic ghosts of the Drury Lane Theater

from Drinking Tea with Monsters: a podcast about OCD, pop-culture, and ghosts

This week on Drinking Tea With Monsters, the podcast about OCD and other, less scary monsters, we’re fully embracing our “I’m like, totally obsessed with…” era! We dive headfirst into an emo music revival, because some phases never really die. From From Under the Cork Tree to A Holiday From Real, we’re revisiting the albums that shaped our eyeliner-heavy souls, plus the song that kicked it all back into gear: “Fall For You” by Secondhand Serenade. (Yes, it still hits!)Then we get into it about anxiety and the overlap with anxious OCD. Pri and Leela talk about their experience with anxiety and how they're working through it.Finally, we Drink Tea with Monsters at the iconic Drury Lane Theatre in London, because sometimes monsters love a little drama!And of course, we go on a few tangents, like Pri’s bold take that Cars is basically a Hallmark movie. Grab your tea and join us for nostalgia, mental health tools, and the usual monster chaos!I'm, like, totally obsessed with...Emo music (now and again!).
