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 -

This week on I’d Like to Unsubscribe, Britt and Marisa are diving into the tendency to self-blame after diagnosis. Yep, we did it too! Ever had your immune system turn on you like a frenemy at brunch? Welcome to the club no one asked to join—autoimmune and/or chronic illness life. In this week’s episode Britt and Marisa are pulling back the curtain on one of the most common and quietly destructive thoughts women with autoimmune diseases face: “Did I do this to myself?” "Is this all my fault?"Spoiler alert: You didn’t. And it's not.But if you're a Type A+, high-achieving, people-pleasing, perfection-chasing powerhouse, chances are you’ve asked yourself that question (probably more than once). From guilt to blame to full-on body betrayal, we’re diving into why these feelings are so common, why they’re completely undeserved, and how learning to forgive yourself can be a game-changer—mentally and physically.We’re also breaking down what really causes autoimmune diseases (hint: it’s not because you skipped yoga once), and giving you a science-backed, sass-laced permission slip to release the shame.So grab your tea (or wine, no judgment), and join us as we hit “unsubscribe” on self-blame, one sarcastic truth bomb at a time.✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
