I too was like WTF with this one. Is it weird to say I think this is the best episode of WMN yet?
Also, anyone else think they could probably use that laugh at 47:55 area for some upcoming horror/'run of the crazies' movie? Keep up the great show Chemda.

i liked lucas a lot already and this show made me like him even more.

perfect as per usual. Chemda does better therapy than therapists.

QUOTE: "i used my metal gear solid skills". man, i think that too!

seriously. this episode is hitting me and so many ways. i have the same issues lucas has , most of the times: the problems with groups of people, th breakdowns, the need for the center, the rat clawing back in my head.... and i wouldve needed so much to get a talk from a person as sensitive, open and able to read the mind and heart of a person like chemda.

i hope she reads this, it really really touched me deeply and i thank her and lucas for it.

I mentioned this in the Dr. Sleep thread, but it's more relevant here:

I am getting into therapy and I'm open to getting on psych meds. This episode was recorded not long before I went from bad to worse, and I realized that I have to get help or I'm not going to survive more than a couple more months. Just waiting on my insurance card to arrive (should be today or tomorrow) and then I can get started.

It's not coming from a good place, it's more like I'm giving up. That doesn't mean nothing good will come of it, but I don't feel like I'm making a positive change, I just feel defeated. Maybe that's what I needed, to hit rock bottom like everybody always talks about. We'll see what happens next.

meds have a lot of negative sides but if you find the right doctor, they can help. just keep an eye open for the unnecessary prescriptions and dont add an addiction to the list, cause that is basically what i did.

Still, it might help, so best vibes to you.

Kudos to Lucas for your bravery and clarity. And Chemda your show is awesome and unlike anything out there in audio land. You two being friends and going through this together has produced a smart, deep and unflinching look at the our brains and it's going to help a lot of people. Meds and therapy have been mentioned but if turrets is an issue there used to be group meetings and organizations for that - might they still exist somewhere in NYC? Finding other functioning people who are coping with the same condition will give you another source of support.

I just wanted to say - fantastic episode. I can definitely relate to some of the stuff Lucas goes through.

Am I the only one who looked up the place mentioned in Lucas' story? But yeah, a really WTF? moment.
