thank you so much, ap and swish! ap, hearing your experience absolutely helps me feel less alone with mine. love this little corner of the cursed web!!Sorry I can’t offer any advice on mental health pods but I'm sending you lots of strength and loveIt's shit when your brain decides to make you worry or grasps onto something that probably won't happen... especially when you're trying to deal with something else at the same time.
The other day my boyfriend was a little bit late coming home and I was worrying that he had died. Turns out he just stopped off at his mum's on the way back. It's ridiculous when I look back, but at the time I time I was getting concerned. I'm not sure I can offer any help or advice, but I hope that sharing a similar thought the other day makes you feel less alone. I try to disassociate the thoughts in my brain from reality, so my brain isn't controlling me.. if that makes sense? So I'll tell myself that my brain is just trying to latch onto something and there's no evidence to point to that thought.. i.e. shut up brain. It doesn't work all the time, but it's good for things like panicking about whether or not I've locked the front door 100 miles away from home.

OMG thank you - I wish I had bought a calendar now! (Why is John in the Freddie jacket so goshdarn sexy?!!!)

I think he said this after the two vases comment, so he means she got ‘him’ two vases aka vases for the house. My partner did the same. Got ‘me’ a board game he wants to play

Welcome! I used to be in Sidebar but left about a year ago? When I got in it was very easy to get into and then yes, it became ridiculous IIRC. It was a nice wee crowd. Secret Santas were a highlight

I've been in a few FB groups where I think the sense of tight-knit community makes people feel confident in posting GFMs and similar. But it always makes me uncomfortable. Because I think definitely there are lots of chancers out there, and in those big groups, it's impossible to know if everyone is genuine.

Oh god yeah you can totally tell he's genuinely fuming in amongst the hilarity of Elis loving every moment.Totally agree. The Prêt bit always ends me. Especially when Dave’s blood pressure spike is evident

Oh no, he absolutely does sound like he is going through it but I think it’s his honesty about it all that is what I loved. It’s immensely relatable (apart from I don’t stand on stage in front of thousands) but the quest for perfection and never quite being enough/wondering what if.To be honest, I felt rather sad reading his Vibemail, because he sounds ill :/ but if that's just me who thinks that, so be it! (and I hope he isn't)
Also, what is with the person kicking off on the PCD group because someone RUINED their life by revealing that JR is on TM next season?! I mean, perspective, people! It's not even a TM group. It reminded me of a PCD group post I read a while back where someone said "I haven't listened to the podcast yet, no spoilers please", and I just realise how much I don't understand some people
Christ on a bike the group is wild. Also pretty much everyone already knew, didn’t they?

To be clear I like him and think he is great on the show but his voice puts me off

A live rendition of Poat for Me, Post for You. A top shelf shame well. John jokingly calling Elis the C word. What a great night!
Ditto… would much prefer pre-records to fit between their schedules rather than splitting presenters every week as it currently is. Most of the audience generated content comes from the FB page anyway. I’d also say they also found they have more podcasts listens than those listening live (although maybe not, not really basing this on anything
just a theory)plus I reckon they’ll be “looser” on a podcast, making for great #content

Mentionitis! That’s bang on was trying to say!He has what ‘mentionitis’ about her - when you fancy someone or are in the early days of dating them and you manage to find a way of referring to them in all your conversations. It’s like the ‘boop boop de boop’ thing they do in The Inbetweeners. She’s mentioned in most shows now.
I’m actually seeing him three times this year

He made a dig at ‘whybhave a radio show. Just have 2 podcasts’ when they were talking about James Acaster right at the end of the pod.

There’s 2 women that I see on the beg regularly. I should just block them for my own sanity really. One with a mum in hospital and another with just about every issue going! I do feel sorry for them because they must not have any friends in real life to post so incessantly about their lives on there.
Totally agree, I clicked on one of them and it didn’t even explain why they were trying to raise money - like any old random could just make a page and ask for money. I think some people are genuinely in a tough spot but I wouldn’t be surprised if others take advantage of a lot of decent people within the group.
A separate charity group im in has just been scammed out of thousands of pounds and people in the group have also donated a lot of money, shows how some people prey on others.
