Welcome to all my friends are queer. On this podcast, I document my life as I live it, with the goal of sharing my experiences as a fat, disabled, Chicanx, queer person. In a world lacking queer representation, I feel it is important to share my story publicly with no filters, just raw vulnerability. Some recurring themes include queer liberation, fat liberation, mental health, healthcare, and queer culture.
Join the discourse on social media by using the hashtags #amfaq and #twcw (that was crazy when...)!

Aside from the usual weekly recap and goal-setting, this week I'm digging into and recounting the events leading up to my mixed manic episode last year and the factors (social, medical, behavioral) that contributed to a psychotic break.
Notice that as I speak about these events, at times I start to question myself (even gaslight myself, which I just learned was a thing), get confused, trip over my words, repeat things... these are some of my warning signs that I am triggered, and so you will hear me talking myself through that and fact-seeking to confirm what's true in my retelling of events. |
➡️CW: bipolar 2 disorder, mania, potential ADHD and self-medicating, medical marijuana, dating and trauma bonding, CPTSD, psychosis, delusions, paranoia, panic attacks, reference to depressive episode |
➡️TW: medical fatphobia, mention of weight-loss medication, mention of abusive relationship, disordered eating, mistreatment by police (PLEASE *tell me* if I need to add other trigger warnings)
