The Headcase Diaries: Recent Episodes
Amelia
A podcast about mental health, life, and going through all the shit. We'll talk about all things that not everyone understands like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, all the fun things! We'll hopefully have guests on to share their experiences and how their struggles impact their daily lives and work. It's all about maneuvering life as a headcase.
It's Part 2 time!
Listen and disagree with our hot takes on ACOTAR, Nesta, SJM, and so on.
Have no idea what we're talking about? That's okay! You can listen to us rant or you can take a listen to our Haunted Headcase episode instead!
We apologize for the sound quality. I (Amelia) forgot to bring the necessary equipment to record so this is just my laptop speakers... YIKES!
Feel free to share your hot takes, theories, and so on with us! Remember to be nice!

For our first episode of this rebrand of The Headcase Diaries, we thought it would be fun to talk about true crime in our beloved state of Arizona. Please excuse the sound quality as we are two broke girls recording on a budget.

Trigger warning!
Talking all things eating disorders in this podcast episode.
I'm talking mostly about anorexia and bulimia. Eating disorders are VERY serious and can be fatal. It is so important to seek help when suffering from an eating disorder. Therapy and medications can help. Sometimes hospitalizations and inpatient facilities are necessary. Remember you are more than what the scale says... it is not a measure of your worth!!!! Life is too short... eat the cake!
Here are just a few of the MANY resources to help those who are struggling with eating disorders:
- NEDA
- Resource list from Eating Recovery Center
- ANAD
To learn more about eating disorders: National Institute of Mental Health (who also helped remind me of some of the other eating disorders as well.)
Hi there! It's been longer than I intended for an episode, but here one is! Finally! Let's talk all things depression! Trigger warning as I will be talking about depression plus touching on suicidal thoughts and all those unhappy feelings. Sorry for my change in voice volume... I attempted recording this several times and by the end my voice got pretty tired! But I wanted to get this out ASAP so here it is in all it's unperfected glory! Remember to please follow @theheadcasediaries on Instagram for updates and leave a review if you enjoyed the episode! (Be nice, I'm sensitive!) Let me know what you would like me to talk about in future episodes! Artwork by Art of A.U.ARJUN @auarjun on Instagram!

On this first official episode of The Headcase Diaries, I'm talking all about anxiety! I share my own experience with anxiety as well as what has most helped me in my daily battle with anxiety. Hopefully hearing my experience and what I have found most helpful will be of use to you! Or at least provide some amusement. I touch on taking medication to ease my anxiety, but I know medication is not for everyone! However, on the flip side, some people need it their whole life or at least for a period of time in their life like I did! There is no shame in taking medication to help ease the burden of our mental health struggles and we need to really work on normalizing that as a society. Anywho, I hope you enjoy this episode of The Headcase Diaries!
