feeling things again

In this candid and unfiltered episode of the Trauma Queen Podcast, Kylie Vincent invites listeners into her world as she navigates the complex aftermath of an abortion, two and a half months later. She openly discusses the "psychedelic" pain of her second period since the procedure , and shares why a beer at 7:30 PM is a perfectly understandable coping mechanism. With her "famously the world's worst producer" – her disabled dog, Bonnie – by her side , the host humorously reflects on her decision to save her family from Bonnie's potential baby-eating tendencies.This episode also delves into her journey of coming off SSRIs, describing the profound experience of being able to "feel things again" after years. She touches upon deeply personal topics, including a history of misdiagnosed mood disorders, chronic complex PTSD from childhood trauma, and the frustrating reality of how women's chronic illnesses are often overlooked in the medical system.Beyond the profound, the episode injects signature "Trauma Queen" humor with a hilarious recount of a "finance bro" who recently got Botox in his armpits. The host bravely explores themes of vulnerability in dating, the challenge of accepting compliments, and the desire for genuine connection in a world that often shies away from discussing sensitive topics like assault aftermath. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity, both in her art and personal life, and how it attracts genuine connections.PATREONhttps://patreon.com/kylievincentthefirst?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkZINEhttps://www.blurb.com/b/12461160-abortion-storyKeywords: abortion experience, post-abortion recovery, SSRI withdrawal, mental health journey, C-PTSD, complex PTSD, women's health issues, chronic illness, dating challenges, vulnerability, authenticity, emotional healing, comedy podcast, personal storytelling, candid conversations, modern relationships, self-discovery, humor in trauma, unique perspectives, Los Angeles life, Botox for sweating, dog owner.
