Break-ups are Equivalent to Food Poisoning (Rough Cut)

In this episode of Anxiety Makes Me Poop, we break down why breakups and food poisoning are basically the same thing. Both hit out of nowhere, leave you feeling like absolute garbage, and take time to recover.

We walk through the stages of a breakup as food poisoning, from that first gut feeling that something’s off to the full-on emotional purge, the miserable recovery phase, and finally, the day you wake up feeling normal again.

Then, we dive into how to ‘treat’ a breakup like food poisoning, covering:

🍽️ Purging what’s making you sick (bye, old texts & stalking)

💧 Hydrating & resting (self-care is key)

🍞 Sticking to simple comforts (like emotional saltines & ginger ale)

🚫 Avoiding risky choices (aka rebounds = bad sushi)

✨ Learning from it & moving on (so you don’t get sick again)

By the end of this episode, you might be smiling, even realizing they weren’t worth the stomachache.
