It’s a Lovely Superpower To Have

WEBVTT

1
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:13.199
Welcome to my weekly panic Attack.
I'm your host, Rennie Brooks. I've

2
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:18.359
been a licensed psychotherapist for over twenty
years and run a thriving private practice.

3
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:26.079
I'm also diagnosed bipolar an OCD.
Often the two do not mix well,

4
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:32.679
which tends to throw my life into
complete chaos. So as I do some

5
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:38.799
spiraling, my best friend Liz Win
will do her best to ground me a

6
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:44.359
bit. During this podcast, we'll
be talking about the horror and the humor

7
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.560
of the anxieties of daily life,
the things we do that are embarrassing,

8
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:57.759
funny, but yet very human.
Let's get started, and there's no better

9
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:03.560
way to get started than by beginning
this episode and all episodes with my friend

10
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:15.840
and co host, the beautiful,
intelligent, and ever rational Liz When Hide

11
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.120
Liz, how are you good?
How are you doing today, Remy,

12
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.879
I'm good. We are talking about
a really interesting topic today. We're talking

13
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.920
about how the decade of our forties
really kicked our asses. So this should

14
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:40.200
be a lot of fun. So
many strange and unexpected things occurred, and

15
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.079
I also learned a lot of new
words along the way too, So really

16
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:53.400
an interesting topic, very interesting topic. I know kicked our asses, but

17
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:01.519
First, here's a well adjusted moment
from lizze Is life. So I just

18
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:07.280
got a brand new die job of
that like dark burgundy to like a flaming

19
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.879
red, and my mother doesn't seem
to like it very much. She thinks

20
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.439
it's a little too young for me, too young. So I'm guessing clearly

21
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.120
you passive aggressively ignored her for the
next two weeks. Right, no,

22
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.080
no, no, no. We
had a conversation about it and agreed to

23
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:38.919
disagree, and she apologized and now
we're good. Oh and this has been

24
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:46.439
a well adjusted moment from Liz's life. Liz, Yes, guess what time

25
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:53.800
it is? What time is it? It is time for me to tell

26
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.639
you what the hell I'm stressed out
about. Now? Now, now,

27
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:06.960
what is stressing you out this week? I'm stressed because I've needed to add

28
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:16.199
yet another doctor to my repertoire of
doctors. Really, yes, I have

29
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:23.879
been seeing a chiropractor for the last
two weeks. And now it's not because

30
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.199
of the incredible sex that I've been
having. And it's also not because of

31
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:38.840
the intense workouts that I participate in. Really that surprising, Yes, for

32
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:45.520
all of those who do not know, that was sarcasm at its finest,

33
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:52.199
because my workouts consist of moving my
ass from the couch to my garage and

34
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:59.000
then from my garage back to my
couch. Although I do think it's notable

35
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.879
to add that my thumb gets a
great workout from all of the remote control

36
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.840
use that it gets. Would you
agree with that one? That is absolutely

37
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:15.599
true. You have very Olympic thumb, very strong thumb. Yes, And

38
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:27.639
to be fair, my wrist must
be so strong from lifting the cigarette up

39
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:33.920
and then putting it back down,
lifting the coffee cup up and then putting

40
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:43.199
it back down repeatedly, on and
on a very very strong wrist. But

41
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:50.040
alass, Liz, none of those
are the reasons why I ended up in

42
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.720
the chiropractor's office. Okay, so
what happened that made you have to go

43
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:09.839
to a chiropractor? Well, the
sad truth is that I sneezed. I

44
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.519
I hear it, I hear your
pain. I have worn twenty five year

45
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.399
olds that when you turned twenty five
you will turn to a friend to say

46
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.480
hi, and your neck will be
out for three days. So a sneeze

47
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:29.560
look sneezes nowadays could mean that you
like hurt your neck or you like weed

48
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.879
yourself, so you know that's how
it goes. It wasn't even one of

49
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:41.639
those sneezes that like you feel it
from your toes and it goes all through

50
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.279
your body and it's like, oh
my god, what a sneeze. It

51
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.439
wasn't. It was just it was
a little at you, and then something

52
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:58.160
happened. It was at you,
and then from like my jaw downs,

53
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:05.279
my ash cheeks, everything went out. And I get to the chiropractor and

54
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:11.839
he looked at me quite questionably,
may I add, and asked me how

55
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.199
old I was, and I said
to him, I'm turning fifty this year,

56
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.399
and he says, oh, see
more. This goes back into my

57
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.959
mindset. He says, oh,
you don't look like you're turning fifty,

58
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.959
And there exact plan. For a
second, I forgot about the pain,

59
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:33.959
and I smiled and I was happy. But then he said, but it

60
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:47.720
does make sense. You're at that
age where things like this become common.

61
00:06:48.959 --> 00:07:00.000
And then I kind of wanted to
slap him. I'm at that age.

62
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:10.959
Oh my god. I have to
honestly say that I never really paid attention

63
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.600
to how my body changed during my
forties, but now as I am quickly,

64
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:27.399
quickly, quickly, quickly leaving my
forties and with the chiropractors comment replaying

65
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:35.360
itself at my head, you're at
that age. It made me start thinking

66
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:46.079
about all of the many things that
have changed over the last ten years.

67
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.040
And while I probably paid attention to
it at the time, I think I

68
00:07:51.160 --> 00:08:00.519
just kind of let it go until
I sneezed and was told I thought I'm

69
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:05.439
at that bad age. At least
you even finished it off by saying,

70
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:13.959
ma'am, oh, that would have
been bad. Yeah. When we said

71
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.160
during the last episode that we were
going to talk about the forties and how

72
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.519
they kicked her ass, you mentioned
something about talking to your nieces and her

73
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:30.800
nephew about naps. Yes, what
did you say? I said, take

74
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.799
naps while you can, because when
you get older you will not be able

75
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.360
to when you were working. And
they laughed at me, and the one

76
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.759
who's now in her twenties is like, yeah, I really should have taken

77
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.840
some of those naps. I said, I warned you. Hey, look,

78
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.240
I laughed at my mother for some
of the stuff that we're about to

79
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.320
talk about because I was like,
oh, I don't know what you're talking

80
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.519
about. And now I'm doing it, or say, seeing some of the

81
00:08:52.559 --> 00:09:00.799
same things, and it's not pretty. Not pretty. Naps are soasted on

82
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.879
the young. Like I don't know
if I've ever mentioned this before, but

83
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:13.240
I literally schedule my clients around my
nap schedule. Wow. I look forward

84
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.799
to my nap every single day.
It's like I need it, It's something

85
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:26.000
I look forward to. It has
become an absolute necessity. I love napping.

86
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.200
I love It's so wasted on the
young. You know what, there's

87
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.759
youth has wasted on the young.
We should all Benjamin Button through life.

88
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.320
We should go backwards when we will
appreciate all of this. You are so

89
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.960
right about that. Um. And
how about the fact that I can't hear

90
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:52.440
anymore? And I think I've realized
this during the mask mandates. It was

91
00:09:52.559 --> 00:10:05.159
the I've realized that I complain letely
depend on reading people's lips in order to

92
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.799
hear and to process what they're saying. So that when people were wearing masks

93
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.240
and they were you know, everybody's
lips were covered, I heard nothing.

94
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.519
I had no idea. Yeah,
you're the same way. Yeah. I

95
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.240
was constantly explaining to people, and
I would say to them. I never

96
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.519
realized how much I relied on and
I'm not sure some of that is definitely

97
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.440
the old thing, but how much
you rely on both the hearing and the

98
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.840
scene of the lips to get the
context of what a set being said.

99
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.960
You just but if you have a
little bit of a hearing issue, it

100
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.000
makes a big difference. I went
throughout the pandemic just apologizing for people to

101
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.240
repeat fifty times what they were saying. Absolutely, I couldn't hear a word

102
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.039
that anybody was saying. And even
without the mask, like at home,

103
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.000
when my kids are talking to me, I am repeatedly saying, can you

104
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.960
please speak up? I cannot hear
you. I hear not thing, none

105
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.559
of what you're saying. Are you
talking to me? I cannot hear you.

106
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.320
My TV's volume is set to sixty, which apparently is very loud,

107
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:16.600
because my children, when I hear
what they're saying, I have no idea.

108
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.840
Now, okay, now, while
I can't hear people talking to me,

109
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.639
right, I hear things that I
wish so badly I could not hear

110
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:41.639
if someone is tapping their fingers,
okay, or like snapping their nails,

111
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.799
or like shuffling their feet. I'm
dying it's killing me. I was just

112
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.639
in the chiropractor's waiting room and somebody
was jingling their keys, like shoot me

113
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:03.080
in the fucking face. I could
hear someboddy clicking their pen from three blocks

114
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.679
over and two blocks down, and
I want to rip their goddamn head off.

115
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.840
And it's actually, I think always
been that way for me. This

116
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.080
is not like a forties thing.
I think I'm getting off topic, but

117
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:31.080
picture this undergrad Penn State main campus
lecture hall holds three hundred people. I'm

118
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:37.519
sitting in the middle of an aisle, so I'm already beyond annoyed. The

119
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.799
professor is talking and I'm taking notes. All of a sudden, I hear

120
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:54.120
someone clicking their pen. The professor
disappears as I enter a tunnel like a

121
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:01.919
vacuum, where nothing else exists except
for my three bobbing head and a clicking

122
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.879
pen. And I searched through two
hundred and ninety nine people until I find

123
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:18.240
the culprit. I hard stare until
he notices me and makes eye contact,

124
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:26.279
and then I pick up my imaginary
pen and begin clicking the imaginary top and

125
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:37.440
over exaggerate the words stop clicking.
He understands, puts his hand, his

126
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.759
hand up to say sorry, lays
down his pen. Immediately I come out

127
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.480
of this tunnel. I see the
professor again. I'm able to hear him.

128
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:54.240
I begin to take notes. Click
click, click, click, and

129
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.720
back through the tunnel. I go, my eyes straight to the culprit.

130
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:07.480
He looks back at me, and
I angrily click my invisible pen, mouthing

131
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:16.600
stop with a quick wave and a
nouved sorry. He puts his pen down

132
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:22.399
the third time I heard the clicking
pen. I pack up my backpack,

133
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.559
stand up, walk out of my
aisle. Excuse me, sorry, sorry,

134
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.480
excuse me. I'm so sorry,
excuse me. I walk up the

135
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.440
stairs to the very back of the
lecture hall, walk all the way around

136
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.919
until I get to the culprit section. I walk down the steps to his

137
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.279
robe, put my book back down. Excuse me, sorry, sorry,

138
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.720
excuse me. And now I'm standing
right next to the culprit. I grabbed

139
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:58.600
the pen right out of his hand, and he had the nerve to ask

140
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:05.679
me what are you doing? And
I answer, you're a fucking asshole,

141
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.159
and then I leave the aisle.
Excuse me, so, I'm so sorry,

142
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.519
sorry, excuse me. The professor
looks up and says, is there

143
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:24.600
a problem? Not anymore, I
pick up my backpack, leave the lecture

144
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.399
hall, and throw his pin out
in the very first trash can I can

145
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:39.200
find. So for all of you
pen clickers out there, I would like

146
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:52.120
to speak on behalf of the overly
stimulated population of people who quite literally find

147
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:58.559
that noise painful. You know the
phrase it's like nails on a chalkboard.

148
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:08.799
The clicking of a pen is worse
than that. Does that affect you at

149
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:15.440
all? It does, but not
to the extent of you probably would not

150
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.720
have gotten up and taking his pen
thrown it out. Would it have distracted

151
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:26.759
you from like listening to a lecture
or getting work done? Or would it

152
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:33.120
have distracted you? I am able
to refocus away from that. Okay,

153
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:38.200
all right, So I am unable, and I believe that there are many

154
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:49.000
many people like me. So for
for the pen clickers, please stop.

155
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:56.039
Don't just stop, like don't even
get pens that have I think that clicking

156
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:02.080
pens should be outlawed, like I
don't even know what they exist. I

157
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:07.480
was advocating on behalf of one of
my one of my private clients at their

158
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:12.559
IEP meeting, and the principle was
attending this meeting, and he was a

159
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:26.920
pen clicker, and after I's very
nicely interrupted the meeting twice to ask him

160
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:33.400
to please stop clicking his pen,
and he just he was unable to comply.

161
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:41.319
I stood up, walked over to
him and took his pen. Oh

162
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.200
my god, No, I can
see that for someone it could absolutely be

163
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.960
distracting, because then it's like I
have Tonidas and it's starting to get a

164
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.039
little bit worse as they get older, and there are times where it's very

165
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.880
hard for me to not to lock
that out. So I can imagine with

166
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:03.000
someone where you can actually tell them
to stop what they're doing and they don't

167
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.640
that that's a big problem. It's
it's a huge problem. You know.

168
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.920
It's it's so annoying. I can't
take it, you know, it's it's

169
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.640
it's not to be taken. I
can't do it. It should not happen.

170
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.400
It just should not happen. So
all right, I don't know I

171
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:25.000
got off the main topic. I
think we covered the fact that we have

172
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:33.000
it that I can't hear people talking
to me, So let's move on.

173
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:38.519
One night, also in my forties, I went to bed completely fine.

174
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:51.119
I it was an uneventful day with
an equally uneventful night's sleep. Okay,

175
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.960
I woke up the next morning by
my alarm, so it took me a

176
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.440
little bit of time to like open
my eyes and get situated to the light

177
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:06.440
of the new day. And as
my eyes began to adjust, I see

178
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:18.000
these gnats flying like all around me
floaties. Wow. Yep. So I'm

179
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:26.960
in my bed and I have bugs
flying everywhere. I'm being sworn by bugs.

180
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:32.240
And let me tell you, under
no circumstance, is this a good

181
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:37.000
way to start your day. I
jump out of bed, I'm flailing my

182
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.240
arms everywhere. I'm screaming because my
bedroom is full of bugs. I opened

183
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.039
the bedroom door, and the gnats
aren't just in my bedroom. They're in

184
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:51.160
the hallway, They're everywhere. My
kids hear me screaming. They're running out

185
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:55.400
of their bedrooms to see what's wrong. They're terrified. Now, I have

186
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.599
always had I don't have many rules. I mean, I've got really good

187
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.720
kids, but I have a hard
fast role in my house that under no

188
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:10.880
circumstances should there ever be any food
upstairs, and the only liquid upstairs is

189
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:15.400
water, because I don't want bugs, especially in our bedrooms. Now,

190
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:22.519
in my lifetime, I have been
poor, poor, poor, poor,

191
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:30.559
and then there have been times when
I haven't been poor, regardless of my

192
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:37.839
financial situation. The one luxury,
and I'm going to call it a luxury

193
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:42.119
because I think that other people might
call it a luxury, but I consider

194
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.440
it a necessity. But okay,
I'm going to call it a luxury.

195
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:52.519
The one luxury that I've always allowed
myself is to have a monthly exterminator.

196
00:20:52.359 --> 00:21:00.519
And that's because I'm terrified of bugs, and this helps me to alleviate that

197
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:11.359
fear. Both the exterminator and the
pact that I made with Mother Nature a

198
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:21.680
very very long time ago. I
had a conversation with Mother Nature, okay,

199
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:30.039
and she and I agreed that she
will do her very very best to

200
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:37.599
keep all of her creatures out of
my house as long as I do my

201
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:42.119
very best to stay out of her
house. You know, like, oh,

202
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.039
so you don't go out in nature, so nature doesn't come into you

203
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:52.200
exactly, I will stay away from
the outdoors, and this is my problem.

204
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.359
Then I have not stayed away from
the outdoors, so that's why they

205
00:21:55.799 --> 00:22:00.400
at times come in the house.
Okay, you understand the mist you have

206
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.400
made I do now. I didn't
know that. Okay. So you who

207
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:15.240
go camping and go outside and do
like outdoor things, of course you're gonna

208
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.880
have mother nature things in your home. You know, you haven't made this

209
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.400
pack with mother nature, you know
I have. I don't go outside.

210
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:27.039
If I could have a concrete house
and you know, with like no windows

211
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.920
or nothing like that, I would
do that. That's the way I would

212
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:37.720
live. Yet I never look out
my window. I never pull up my

213
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.039
blinds, I never look out my
curtains. I don't go outside. You

214
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.279
know. I put in a doggydoor
so that I don't ever have to take

215
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.599
the dog out for a walk.
You know, I have no idea ever

216
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.839
what the weather is like. It
could be summer, it could be winner.

217
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.960
I don't know. I don't go
outdoors. It's a packed that I

218
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.000
made with Mother Nature, and I
think it works out very well for both

219
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:06.359
of us. We're gonna take a
quick break and we'll be right back.

220
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:14.319
So getting back to the fact that
there are bugs everywhere in my house,

221
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.720
and I am absolutely terrified. My
kids are looking at me like I have

222
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:25.759
lost my goddamn mind, and they
are assuring me that there are no bugs.

223
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.279
In the house. But I don't
believe them, Liz, because they're

224
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:36.319
right in front of my fucking face, and yet my kids don't see them.

225
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:42.839
And they suggest that something may be
wrong with my vision. But how

226
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:49.559
can that be because yesterday, just
yesterday, I was seeing perfectly fine.

227
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.720
So as soon as they left for
school, I called a bunch of local

228
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.359
eye doctors and I went to the
first one that could see me, like

229
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:04.559
right there in there. And let
me tell you that driving when you have

230
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:11.480
no real line of vision because you're
being attacked by thousands of bugs was not

231
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:18.079
an easy car ride to make.
The doctor does the exam, right,

232
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:26.319
and she tells me that I have
floaters. Oh what the fucker floaters?

233
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.960
So do you know what this is? I do know what floaters are,

234
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.240
Yes, okay, do you have
them? I do. I just realized

235
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:37.960
I had them a couple of years
ago when I was at an art installation

236
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.680
where I was looking at a dark
sky and all of a sudden, I'm

237
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.559
like, hey, looked are all
these satellite things? And my partner was

238
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.200
like, there's nothing out there.
You're not saying anything, And I realized,

239
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.920
Oh, I've got floaters now,
yeah, okay, So how did

240
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.240
you even know what floaters were?
My stepfather had them really bad. He

241
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:02.119
had like chunky, big that would
float in front of his eyes. That

242
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:03.200
was the only reason I knew,
because he had it. And then I

243
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.160
realized, well, if I'm seeing
it, no one else's and I'm not

244
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.480
crazy, it must be that I
have floaters now, because that's what you

245
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.519
get when you get old floaters.
So for people who don't know what floaters

246
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:25.640
are, it is a jelly like
material that begins to clump up and floats

247
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:32.240
in your eyeball and cast shadows on
your retina, which is the part of

248
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:37.039
the eye that interprets what you see, and it gets in the way of

249
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:47.759
your line of vision. And it's
apparently very very common once you get to

250
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:57.279
a certain age. Heard that before, Yes, so I handled this very

251
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:03.279
well. I'm speaking to the eye
doctor and I'm like, okay, so

252
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.759
how do we get rid of this? Do you give me drops? Do

253
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:17.079
you suck them out? Somehow?
This a surgery make this go away?

254
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.279
But it turns out there's no treatment. Yeah, I don't know how this

255
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:30.720
is possible. This is very common
and yet no treatment. So I'm supposed

256
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:36.079
to live this way for the rest
of my life. Am I supposed to

257
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:42.079
see thousands of books everywhere I look
forever? How am I going to drive?

258
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:51.920
How am I going to read?
How am I going to watch TV?

259
00:26:53.079 --> 00:27:00.319
I'm told that at some point the
floaters will fall down to the bottom

260
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:08.680
of my eyeball. Yeah, they
started settling during the day, and the

261
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:17.799
ones that don't fall down, I'll
get used to get used to this.

262
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:29.720
Never, I will never get used
to this long story short, I got

263
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:34.000
used to it. Did you get
used to yours? Yes? Yes.

264
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:41.839
At some point my entire vision started
changing. I first noticed it when I

265
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:48.160
took my youngest to get fast food
and realized that I couldn't read the neon

266
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:53.559
sign. It was a very large
sign. I should have been able to

267
00:27:53.559 --> 00:28:02.920
read it, and yet I could
not. I could no longer read me

268
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.319
on at all. But like I
could live the rest of my life not

269
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.559
reading neon, I would agree with
you, YEA not a big deal.

270
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:21.519
But as time began to pass,
I began to realize that I no longer

271
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:27.680
could read anything. I couldn't read
a book, I couldn't read directions,

272
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:38.920
I couldn't read my kids homework.
I couldn't read or really see any think

273
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.960
I've always had twenty twenty vision,
right, Actually, I mean, like

274
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.160
my entire life, I've always had
double vision. So I like to say

275
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:57.200
that I felt always had twenty twenty
twenty twenty vision because you know it's double.

276
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.000
But right, clearly this was no
longer the case because I could see

277
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.400
nothing. So I scheduled an appointment
with an eye doctor who ran a whole

278
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:14.119
bunch of tests and then after the
test told me that I had twenty twenty

279
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:22.599
vision. And this was un helpful
because how could I have twenty twenty twenty

280
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:30.400
twenty vision and not be able to
see any anything? Yeah? Right,

281
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.960
Like the doesn't make sense it right. The only thing that does make sense

282
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:41.759
about that is obviously the doctor I
saw sucked. So I scheduled another appointment

283
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:48.279
with a totally different doctor, and
he ran all the tests, all the

284
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:56.240
tests, and he said to me
that I had twenty twenty vision. It

285
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:07.319
is an interesting thing thing to have
twenty twenty twenty twenty vision and not be

286
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:17.319
able to see It's very interesting.
So at some point I met up with

287
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.960
a friend of mine and we always
meet at this one particular diner, and

288
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:22.920
I pick up the menu and I
can't read it, and I pulled it

289
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:30.000
away from me and close to me, and up and down and then exactly

290
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.319
and then I just gave up.
I closed it, And quite honestly,

291
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.319
I don't even know why I bothered. This is the only diner we ever

292
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.680
go to, and I always ordered
the exact same thing. So why I

293
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.680
bothered with the menu in the first
place, I have no idea, But

294
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.599
I'm glad I did, because she
asked me what the hell was going on

295
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.519
with my eyes, and I explained, I am someone who has twenty twenty

296
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:57.559
twenty twenty vision and yet can't see
a goddamn thing. And she said,

297
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:06.960
you probably just cheaters. O.
Cheaters. Yeah, what are cheaters?

298
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.799
Yet another new word to me.
So she explains, they're just magnifying glasses,

299
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.480
and she happened to have a pair
on her. I tried them on,

300
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:22.920
and I picked up the menu,
and oh my god, I could

301
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:33.200
read. It was a freaking miracle. I could see again with the granny

302
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:41.759
glasses. Yeah, and it's amazing. Absolutely, I'm amazing. So I

303
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:47.440
now have a pair of cheaters in
my car and in every single room in

304
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:53.000
my house, and I need them
for absolutely everything. They are the greatest

305
00:31:53.200 --> 00:32:02.559
and I have to say, seeing
after being blind, it is a wonderful

306
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:10.880
thing that I no longer take for
granted. Absolutely, absolutely, really,

307
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:23.039
those cheaters absolutely changed my life.
Okay, another major thing we talked about

308
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:31.200
knaps, but there was a time
when one knap was no longer working for

309
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:37.559
me. I was, and I
think you're going to remember this time vividly.

310
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:45.799
Actually, I was beyond exhausted all
the time. Yes, parts of

311
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:53.960
my body that had no reason to
hurt was hurting. Different places started swelling

312
00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:02.680
for no apparent reason. I was
experiencing such memory Marie fog all the time.

313
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:10.680
And I was snappy. And some
people may think me being snappy would

314
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.200
not be so strange, but honestly, I'm hardly ever snappy with my kids.

315
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:24.960
Right, Another thing like clumps,
huge clumps of hair began falling out,

316
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:30.839
and there were like so many other
symptoms, but I don't remember what

317
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:40.440
they were. I was concerned there
was something very very wrong with me,

318
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:51.519
and I saw my doctor who sent
me to specialist after specialist after specialist.

319
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:59.240
So much blood was drawn and so
many tests were run and no one could

320
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.839
find the answer. And yeah,
that's right, you were having like migraines

321
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:05.400
and everything, and they couldn't figure
out anything. They kept sending you from

322
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:09.320
one doctor to another to another.
It was over. It was over a

323
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:15.800
year. The whole process was over
a year, and I was sick.

324
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:22.239
I was sick, and I was
scared because something was wrong. I had

325
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:32.239
my yearly visit with the greatest gynecologist
in the entire world. Love her,

326
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:37.480
She's one of my most favorite people, just saying. She asked if I

327
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:43.480
had any new medical issues. Why, yes, yes I do. I

328
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:52.719
told her everything that's been going on
plus more. Now we're entering a TMI

329
00:34:53.159 --> 00:35:01.679
moment. I told her that my
entire actual life, I have been able

330
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:09.159
to reach orgasm so easily. It's
always been kind of like my superpower.

331
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:21.079
It's a lovely superpowers to have,
lovely, and then within this last year,

332
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:30.519
it stopped. It just stopped,
right as if I had reached my

333
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:36.440
lifetime amount of orgasms and I was
allowed no more. Done with it,

334
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:44.239
done and over. And she tells
me, I'm in my mid forties and

335
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:52.039
no doctor I saw and I saw
many. This was shameful. Yeah,

336
00:35:52.079 --> 00:36:04.360
no one thought that this could possibly
be hormonalre menopauzzle. Perhaps she believed,

337
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:12.440
like immediately that I went through a
year of testing for nothing, for nothing,

338
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:16.440
and you didn't believe her either.
I did. There was something so

339
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:23.320
wrong, lits so wrong. She
was absolutely positive it was about my hormone

340
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:31.639
levels. And she was out right, utterly disgusted that with all the doctors

341
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:36.719
I'd seen, and oh my god, had I seen so many doctors,

342
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:44.159
not one had mentioned going to the
gynecologist. I remember when you told me

343
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.280
that. I thought that was so
shameful because I thought it made sense.

344
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:52.400
You're in your mid forties, that's
something that happens, and you know crazy.

345
00:36:53.320 --> 00:37:02.280
Please listen, I'm telling everyone who
was listening to this podcast, once

346
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:12.559
you enter your forties or later,
if your body seems off, if you're

347
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:25.239
feeling sick, if strange things are
happening, see your gynecologist, get your

348
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:35.719
hormone levels tested. Please avoid the
mistakes I made. I was sick.

349
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:43.880
I was really sick for over a
year before this was figured out. So

350
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:50.679
the best kind of coologist ever ran
a full hormonal panel on me, and

351
00:37:50.840 --> 00:38:00.800
it turned out that I no longer
had any female hormones left in my system.

352
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.639
I remember you saying that I was
I didn't even know that was possible.

353
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:14.239
I was basically a dude without a
dick. So she put me on

354
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:27.480
hormone replacement therapy, and Liz,
oh my god, my entire life changed.

355
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:34.920
Hormone replacement therapy was the greatest thing
in the entire world. First and

356
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:40.960
foremost and most importantly, it took
away all of those feeling sick symptoms.

357
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:52.320
But in addition to that, I
was able to orgasm by doing basically nothing,

358
00:38:53.599 --> 00:39:01.360
I mean like walking up and down. This STAPs was almost enough.

359
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:14.519
It was wonderful and may have been
the greatest time of my life. And

360
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:22.159
then maybe about six months later,
right I suppose, my body got used

361
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:29.679
to all the hormones and kind of
regulated, and that incredible feeling of being

362
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:34.239
able to orgasm without having to do
anything just kind of went away. Only

363
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.360
I wasn't expecting it to go away, because nobody told me it was going

364
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:44.840
to go away. So I packed
and I called my Dino's office, and

365
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:49.840
the receptionists picked up. Thank you
for calling blah Blah's office. How can

366
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:59.159
I help you? I can't orgasm? What she expects when she asked,

367
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:10.239
says hello, what, I'm sorry, I can't orgasm. Who's your doctor?

368
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:15.599
I'll connect you to the nurse.
Now I'm connected to the nurse.

369
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:29.400
Hello, I can't orgasm. I'm
sorry. That sounds awful. Who are

370
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:35.280
you well, I already told it
that. I'll tell the doctor and we'll

371
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:40.920
get back to you. So the
best guy no ever switches up my formula

372
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:46.719
and it works for a while,
and then it stops. Thank you for

373
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:51.000
calling, blah blah, Office Hawk, and I help you. I can't

374
00:40:51.280 --> 00:41:06.280
orgasm. Is this Remy? No
need your bootline? It is, I

375
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:15.760
can't orgasm. I'll connect you to
the nurse. Hi, Remy, So

376
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:27.000
you can't orgasm. I can't orgasm. I'll talk to the doctor and we'll

377
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:37.440
get back to you. The hormone
changed again. It was wonderful until it

378
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.559
wasn't. I called again. So
let me tell you. When I went

379
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:50.199
in for my yearly visit and I
checked in with the receptionist, she said

380
00:41:51.119 --> 00:42:01.159
with such enthusiasm, Oh you're realmy, the organs as some lady. What

381
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:08.440
I said, why are you saying
it? She's been the talk of the

382
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:15.880
office for the past coupounds. She
goes, It's it's just that I've spoken

383
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:20.920
to you so many times, and
now I finally faced to the name.

384
00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:25.800
Then she turns to the other receptionist
at the desk, and she says,

385
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:38.000
this is Ny. I'm sure I
probably should have been embarrassed because I was

386
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:52.679
not. So I hear you what
and whats of changes happened in my forties?

387
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:57.840
I mean I went off, went
blind, kind of became a man.

388
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:04.679
And now I I'm getting ready to
turn fifty, and I truly wonder

389
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:09.480
what the fifties have in store for
me. Yeah, I hear it's just

390
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:17.480
another long downhill from Oh my god, I wonder what look, what words

391
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:24.800
