Let’s be real—society's push that we need to be resilient 24/7 is overrated. It's also unsustainable. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about what happens when you're tired of being the strong one. The dependable one. The "wow, you’re so inspiring" one. Spoiler alert: it’s exhausting.This episode is a love letter to the chronically ill humans who’ve mastered the art of smiling through chaos—but secretly want to scream. We're diving into the emotional toll of being resilient 24/7, and why constantly being praised for your strength can feel less like encouragement and more like pressure in a sparkly disguise.We get into the nitty-gritty of chronic illness rage—the quiet kind, the loud kind, and the kind that shows up as a flare when you haven’t even had time to be mad properly. We’ll unpack what unprocessed anger does to your body (hint: it’s not great), why that endless praise for being strong can feel like a prison, and how you can rage safely without wrecking your relationships or your nervous system.Plus, we’ll share hilarious, honest stories, practical tips, and why Jesus Himself took time to rest, weep, and say “no thanks” to nonstop strength.If you’ve ever wanted to scream into a pillow, chuck your pill organizer across the room, or Irish-goodbye your way out of the toxic resilience narrative—welcome.You’re not broken. You’re just (rightfully) furious.Let’s be loud about it… together.✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

So, last week we tackled the fear of being abandoned. This week? Plot twist: sometimes we’re the ones doing the leaving. Emotionally, at least. Welcome to Episode 8 of I’d Like to Unsubscribe and Part 2 of our Sick Love Series—where we lovingly call ourselves out for the emotional backflips we do to avoid intimacy while sick.

Chronic illness can jack up your self-worth, mess with your nervous system, and make you question if you’re still lovable when you’re wrapped in a blanket burrito, hair unbrushed, and watching reruns of Golden Girls (again). So what do we do? We ghost emotionally. We self-sabotage. We pick dumb fights over the dishwasher. Because being loved while sick feels dangerous. So we bolt—metaphorically or literally—before they can.

In this episode, Marisa and Britt unpack what it means to be "loved-sick" and why those of us with unpredictable bodies and trauma-filled histories often default to reject love before it rejects me. It's part science, part sass, and fully validating if you’ve ever panicked over a kind word or ruined a perfectly good cuddle with a random meltdown.

But here’s the good news: we can learn to let love in. Even on flare days. Even when we feel unworthy. Especially then.

If you’ve ever whispered, “No one will ever really love me because I'm chronically ill"—this one’s for you. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com -

Let’s get real: nothing tests the vows of “in sickness and in health” like actually getting sick. In this powerful (and painfully honest) first episode of our two-part Sick Love series, Marisa and Britt rip the bandaid off a huge fear lurking in many chronically ill relationships: What if they leave?

This episode dives deep into the gnarly, unspoken anxiety of abandonment when illness crashes the relationship party. Spoiler: you’re not crazy for worrying—science backs it up. (Yes, we have the peer-reviewed receipts.) From subtle emotional withdrawals to actual ghosting, we break down what abandonment really looks like—and why it’s way more common (and silent) than you think.

But we’re not just here to cry into heating pads. We unpack where this fear comes from, how to talk about it with your partner, and how to begin healing when you're feeling like “too much.” Expect truth bombs, awkward laughs, maybe a few tears, and the comforting reminder that you are not alone.

So if your love life has ever had to compete with symptoms, cancelled plans, or flaming tongues (yep, that’s a thing), grab a cozy blanket and press play. Today, we’re unsubscribing from the fear of being abandoned—✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com -
