Why is the Middle of Depression So Messy?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471856/fan_mail/new] The “Messy Middle” is the point where: * The day has lost its morning energy, but you’re not at the finish line yet. * The week feels like a slog, but the weekend’s still a dream. * The month has settled in, and real life is unfolding in all its unpredictable, chaotic, wonderful mess. www.lillystrong.com Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471856/support] https://lillystrong.com/

If This Sounds Familiar, You've Met a Narcissist

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2471856/fan_mail/new] Season 2 / Episode 1 Ever walked away from an argument thinking, “Wait… am I actually the problem?” In this episode of My Ruby Slippers, we’re unpacking the classic phrases narcissists love to use to keep you confused, guilty, and off balance. From “You’re too sensitive” and “I never said that” to “You’re lucky I stay,” we’ll break down what these lines really mean, how gaslighting scrambles your sense of reality, and why you’ve spent so long thinking you’re “too much” or “too broken.” You’ll learn: * How to spot common narcissist and gaslighter phrases * Why you feel “crazy” in a crazy-making environment * Simple ways to start trusting your own memory, feelings, and intuition again * How depression picks up their lies and turns them into your inner voice We’ll also connect this to Week 1 of my workbook, 20 Days Rising from Depression, where we work through the lies in your head—many of them planted by narcissistic abuse—and start practicing new truths. If these phrases sound uncomfortably familiar, this episode is your reminder: you’re not crazy, you’re not the problem, and you are allowed to take your mind back.
