Chapter 1: How did Bella Hadid change Gabby's life?
It's making me ill. It's affecting my body. My body is now failing me with all this attention. Just kidding. Just kidding. Because I took five days of steroids, 40 milligrams of prednisone, which fucked me up. And now I'm withdrawing from an assortment of medications, which you know that I'm on. Shall I recap? I'm withdrawing from, from prednisone. My last dose was yesterday.
Chapter 2: What are the effects of Gabby's medication withdrawal?
I'm withdrawing from Lamictal. I'm withdrawing from Gabapentin. And I'm withdrawing from codeine cough syrup. Who knew that could fuck you up so bad? I was given it. I was given it in the urgent care and I wasn't warned. about how it may affect me, about what the repercussions might be. Every four hours, it says on the instructions label. So, you know, I didn't miss a dose.
I was a nurse for God's sakes for eight years. I know how important it is to stick to the schedule as I taper off my own medications willy-nilly. I was asleep for two days. Like what is going on? I've never been this tired in my life. This is the COVID tired that people are talking about. I'm not getting enough. I'm not getting enough oxygen to my brain. I'm hypoxic. It's making me exhausted.
There's no perfusion. I'm losing brain cells. more than I would otherwise, living and breathing the same air as you all, the gem population, which thank you for coming back time and time again. And welcome back to another episode of Long-Winded. I appreciate you for now. So my body's failing me. And if it's not my body, it's my mind.
Chapter 3: Why is Gabby talking about antidepressants?
Because as you know, I've had a harrowing journey with antidepressants. I've done it all. The SSRI, the SNRI, the benzo, the ketamine, the drug of love. That's helped me a little bit. All right. If I don't try and self-sabotage and ruin it because I hate myself. So I've landed on the mood stabilizer, Lamictal. Try telling that to every vitamin shop you go into.
Having to talk to the nurse practitioner via FaceTime. Why are you on Lamictal? I'm massively depressed, lady. The one drug that's ever worked for this mysterious and complicated brain decreases your immune system. It depresses it. You can't fight anything off. You had the flu? Who cares? Another five days of Tamiflu didn't get you anywhere. Coughing up. Coughing up. Coughing up. Green. Clear.
Coughing up. Coughing up. Mucinex DM. Vicks Vapor Shower Tab. Robbie's banging on my chest. Harder. Harder. At the bottom. I gotta cough this up. Well, I had no reserve because my antidepressant is turning against me. It's the body or it's the mind. It's your right to be happy and healthy. They say, no, it's not. You must choose one. You must choose one. And that's what my psychiatrist said.
I came to her. We had our check-in. How are you doing with your PMDD? Well, the Celexa made me batshit fucking crazy. I'm taking a Pepsid. It seems to be working two weeks before my period post ovulation. This is PMDD people. Look it up on TikTok. Everyone says to do a Pepsid. I said, but I'm fighting off this bronchitis. I can't get out of bed for two days. I'm weak.
I have chest pain, I'm breathless and I'm helpless. I can't even walk to the fridge without being out of breath. I can't get on a Zoom call with any sort of exasperation with a topic that needs an exasperata. Was it due to my bronchioles or was it due to the codeine cough syrup? I'm sure that shit fucks you up. And then I was like, am I addicted to opiates? So I had to stop.
I had to stop cold turkey. It was making me feel too good. I was sleeping like a baby. So I told my psychiatrist, I think the Lamictal is really affecting my immune system. I have to work. You guys know what's going on. This surge. I didn't even need the leaked nude tape. I just needed Bella Hadid to repost my TikTok. Now I'm catapulted into the stratosphere. Who's this diva? Not like you care.
Not like you care you'll ever understand me. You're a sheep. And this is her mentality and I'm onto you. So I tell my psychiatrist, the Lamictal, I cannot, I think, I don't know what to do. I'm getting sick. I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick. And I've never gotten sick before. She's like, are you insane? Are you insane bringing this to me right now? You think there's any other option for you?
Immediately shut down. And she's right. So I had to take things into my own hands and self-taper. I cut my lamictal in half for like a week because I, and then I upped my vitamin C to 5,250. I'm taking zinc, every other, and a vitamin D. And here we are. And here we are. I don't get one inhale of anything. And my favorite route of administration is an inhale, is a puff. I love to puff.

Chapter 4: What happened with Gabby's steroid experience?
It absorbs straight to the dome. I like to smoke a stick. I like to smoke my weed. No, I don't want an edible. I like to inhale a laughing gas. You guys know this. This is how I want to take all my drugs and I can't because of the bronchitis. So here I am, raw dogging a party bus on the 30th birthday of a dear friend.
And I can't even look at a Virginia Slim because all that's looking back at me are necrotic, wheezing, asthmatic lungs. But I took it upon myself to smoke a quarter. It's barely a cigarette. And sometimes you have to push your body to the limit so you know what it can handle. Come on. Come on. I know I can fight this. Come on. I know you're going to be okay tomorrow. Come on. You can do this.
Push your body. You'll never know if you don't push. So I pushed it. I'm okay. I'm okay. I hit the indica four times last night because I'm on a steroid for God's sakes. I want to make the most of it. It gives you a little more of a tolerance. You get to enjoy your high more.
Most of the time, I can only take two hits before I can't really hold a sentence anymore because I'm really thinking about the special effects in the movie, Death Becomes Her, which is a great way to enjoy the movie. So I was watching movies on steroids. It was really doing what it was supposed to do until it didn't. It's one of my favorite drugs. And then it stopped working on me.
Then it sucked me dry. I was tweaking. I couldn't organize my thoughts. Trying to make a mood board for my stylist. And I went on some kind of a weird tangent. And I'm scaring everybody away. That was on the fourth day. And then by the fifth day, my adrenal glands were shot. I had no energy. I was exhausted. I had never, ever felt this before. On a steroid?
I'm supposed to access some part of my brain that I have never been before. Some kind of a genius is supposed to awoke. Awaken inside me. And instead, it's left me depleted. So here I am. This is what all this has brought me, if you're wondering. Oh, and it's not looking good. Zzz. Zzz. You know what sound that is. That's my clitoris being rubbed raw by a vibrator.
My favorite time of day, my favorite time to manifest. And you guys know what time it is. I'm giving away a ton of vibrators from Balessa. Because why? Because they're amazing. If you don't know Balessa, they're a bi women for everyone company, redefining sexual wellness, their whole mission, empowering you to embrace, explore and celebrate your pleasure and have an orgasm for once in your life.
Now, the girlies at Balessa sent me a ton of new toys. Thank you, including their new game changing slingshot. silent collection. And my mind is blown. Remember that from five seconds ago? Well, now it's a Can you imagine? It's giving fleabag when she goes on a wellness retreat with her sister, and we all want to be fleabag. She brings her vibrator. Turn up your volume and listen closely.
Did you hear that? No, exactly, because Balessa just launched their first ever silent vibrators. I'm serious, silent vibrators. The brains at Balessa created what they call whisper tech, and somehow, don't ask me how, They made a full power, all the right spots, hitting, no noise making lineup of toys. It's actually unreal. The Whisper Bullet might be silent, but it has five whole speeds.

Chapter 5: What is the silent vibrator giveaway about?
your disgusting man and his nicotine choices because we cannot keep having those cheap, ugly nicotine cans cluttering up the kitchen counter in the coffee table and the nightstand in the entryway table. And your dresser, for God's sakes, it's time for an upgrade. And you know, you know, I love a head buzz. You know, I love a cig every now and again or forever.
But at some point it's like, you don't want to smell like smoke. You don't want it on your breath, blah, blah, blah. So I'm like, should I transition to nicotine pouches? I've heard some very high profile people you may know dabble in the nicotine pouch. So it could be me. Lucy is the, if you know, you know, nicotine brand. These aren't your standard gas station pouches.
Lucy is 100% pure nicotine and always tobacco free. They taste better and feel smoother for just an overall better experience. It's for the elite. It's for the mature palate. What are we doing? There's no other thought. The breakers have a tiny capsule inside, much akin to a camel crush. Hello. Remember those? You just pop it for an instant burst of flavor.
It is for the girlies and the guys who appreciate quality. Ready to upgrade their nicotine routine? You can go to lucy.co slash Gabby and use promo code Gabby to get 20% off your first order. Lucy has a 30-day refund policy if you change your mind. Again, that's lucy.co and use code Gabby to get 20% off. And here comes the fine print.
Lucy products are only for adults of legal age and every order is age verified. Warning, this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. And then the boomers are still on my Instagram somehow. And then Kathy's like, ugh. A Marlboro Smooth. No, but see, I always go back to that. They stopped selling menthols, but that was my go-to order in high school.
You know, I almost burned my deck down at 15 because I love a Marlboro Smooth. So now it's like, it's literally, but I hope you're not smoking a Marlboro Light. Of course I am, Kathy. And by your profile picture, I know that you had a past. A past that showed me you were a different woman, a woman of taste.
I can tell by your profile picture, by the lines around your lip, you used to stand on business. You used to mean something. And now you're nothing short of hypocrisy, judging me. No, because smoking is a sign of something else. It's a sign of something greater. As you know, it's a community. You're calling in like-minded people.
Of course, we have to leave this bar and talk shit collectively on the one person here that we hate. And no, it's not you. No, it's not you because this person has no self-awareness. They think everybody loves them. Ugh, I got to choke down a cig and get a head buzz and think some of this out. I got to lament. I got to stimulate.

Chapter 6: How does Gabby feel about nicotine products?
It's for people who have a constant lack in their life, who have trauma that lies behind them, that they need a break. They need a break and a five minute head buzz. It's the best buzz you'll ever feel. And you need to do it with a friend. It's a mature palette. It's for the people who get it. It's a fuck you to society. It's anarchy. I don't care what you think of me.
Except I know smoking is inherently cool and sexy. And that's what you will think of me if I have anything to do with it. But I don't care. I don't care. I gotta take a break. Who's this diva? It's always girly pop, never diva cop. Who's this diva? Because I know, I know, I know there's some new, there's some new, let me try. There's some new ones coming around these parts.
They don't, this is the first time. This is the first time they're learning about this. Who's this diva? Oh, because the whole crowd's doing it. Oh, because now everyone wants to do it so you can jump on the bandwagon. I know you. I know you and you're not gonna like anything I have to say. And I'm telling you right now, I'm onto you. You couldn't pussy sneeze if your life depended on it.
And if you can, come on in, the water's warm. It's ripe for drowning. Cause that's what we're doing around here. It's not a good time around here. I say one wrong thing and you're gonna drop me like a bad habit. You're gonna drop me like a hot fucking potato. There I go. I came and I went. I stopped before I started. It's not left, it's right, it's not up, it's down.
If you're not fucking, you're getting fucked. And that's me. And I'm on to you. And I know. I don't think you can pull one over. Did you hear what happened to Megyn Kelly? I don't know if you guys are on that side of things. All of a sudden, I found myself there. OK, Megyn Kelly had said something so offensive to her audience. We don't know what she stands for. She hates Trump. She loves Trump.
She I don't know. We don't. Who knows what her bill? She's pandering. Whoever.
wants her she will respond accordingly she's gonna give them what they want I'm not the same I'm not gonna give you what you want I'm gonna give you what I want and I don't want anything so I'm not gonna give you anything so good luck so good luck you want to stick around now you sick freak masochist you hate yourself and I hate you just kidding no I'm seriously kidding
Anyways, Megyn Kelly tweeted something like, something like women can make their own money, afford that swanky apartment in NYC, too far, too far. Nobody can afford that. Boy, girl, woman, man, pregnant, not pregnant. Like you took it too far. And you can have it all. Basically, you can have a job and kids with a man who loves you. Extremely offensive. Her demo hated that.
dissenters among them oh no they didn't like that that's the first time they heard it and they didn't like it they took it personally what do you mean I'm not a I'm not a boss babe postnatal I mean actually you kind of are and I don't know what and I and you know that's not what she was saying but her audience turned on her It turned on her.

Chapter 7: Who is interested in working with Gabby?
And why does it have to be inherently feminine? Aren't we living in a non-binary world? Why can't a man do this? What are you, a misandrist? Has to be a female. Okay. Mid-30s. Next, do you hate yourself? Do you want your job? Do you want any talent to say yes to this? You want someone of average age? You want an average talent? Do you want to get fired and push me away? Next.
Positive personality and non-polarizing. Get out of my face. You pissed me off. You've gotten underneath my skin. Under this deeply thick epidermis that's at times thin if you hit me where it hurts. Positive personality. Do you know anything about me? Have you ever been around these parts before? You saw one clip and you think you know it all? Oh, we just get her sense of humor. What's so funny?
Who's laughing? There's nothing funny around here. It's the truth. Positive personality. No, I'm a cynic and I hate everything and I hate everyone. You want me to show up and grin? Through a clenched jaw. I will for the right people. I will for the right people. Okay, let's be honest. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. You get to pick and choose and that's my prerogative. And non-polarizing.
The most offensive of them all. Of course I want to be polarizing. Are you crazy? I don't want to appeal to the masses. That's too much pressure. They're not going to like it here. Because the Megyn Kelly dissenters are on the other side of this. Waiting. Waiting to turn on me. And that's not what I want. And that's not what you want. You want someone who's going to fit in with everybody?
Oh, not around here. You don't. Not around here, you don't. Because if too many people come around here, if too many people start listening, by the way, this is me. This is me with 10,000 views on YouTube. This is me. This is the most relevancy and I can't take it. And it's too much. It's about 2000 too much. Because then I'm going to get an influx of, hey girl, love the pod messages.
Love the pod, but. Because I'm going to get an influx of love the pod, but messages. Love the pod, but Phoebe Bridgers is a lesbian. She's just been secretly, not so secretly dating a man for five years, but she's a lesbian. Love the pod butt. Sabrina was in love with Barry Keegan and Rap Man is body shaming men. Love the pod butt. Insert weird language about bisexuals that nobody cares about.
Love the pod butt. And then I'm going to have to show up at an award show, which I'll inevitably be at. And then I'm going to have to look face to face to one of these people that I've freely talked shit on in the past because I'm safe here with my 8,000 views on YouTube. And then everyone's going to come running and then I'm going to have to look them straight in the face and say, don't worry.
This is Satir. It's nothing but a joke. And I'll lie. And I'll lie because I have no other choice when I get caught. I'm not afraid to be caught in a lie because then I'll lie about the lie. Hello. And that's what's going to happen. And so everyone's coming and knocking, non-polarizing. And you want to know, you want to know who came running? Metta. Metta. Gabby Windy by Meta Spawn Con.
Are you okay? Do you know anything about what's going on here? I've been sounding the alarm on the AI abortion rumba robot, which I'm sure Meta will invent. And punch your uterus into Timbuktu. This is how abortions will be done in the future. I've been screaming about it. And now they want me to do SponCon about AI? AI who's now having meetings with 11-year-olds on Sunday nights via Zoom.
