05/22/19 • 55 min

(CW: anorexia, suicidal ideation.)

(PART TWO!) Non Wels, at age 21, living in Wales, weighed 118lbs because of anorexia. A doctor told him that he was about to die if he didn't change his disordered eating. He was in a constant state of pain. His hair fell out. He had no fat on his body. Now, he's in his late 30's and recovered. This is his journey.

We also discuss over-exercise; NEEDING support; the importance of therapy & feeling feelings!; attachment theory; growing older; mental health podcasts; compassion; NEEDING to feel seen and SO much more!

83. Losing a Sibling to Suicide

Rhandi's brother was diagnosed as a sociopath at a young age--he tortured animals and had violent anger outbursts (like his dad, yet more dangerous). They grew up in violent, unsafe homes in Michigan and never felt like they belonged. Rhandi's relationship with her brother was tumultuous (at best) and his recent suicide has left her feeling confused, devastated and angry: she didn't like her brother, but she loved him.

CW: suicide, sexual abuse, animal abuse, violence.

This episode truly exemplifies how even the "worst" people are not ALL bad--people are complex!--and suicide leaves so many unanswerable questions...

We also discuss fear of abandonment, attachment issues, toxic/chaotic family structures, longing for connection/belonging, inter-generational trauma and SO much more!
