Published: March 17, 2018, 5:29 p.m.

b'In Episode 45, Alison falls apart and dreams of checking into a hotel. Instead, Dana makes her march in a protest. Not helpful, Dana!\\n\\nDuring the Absolute Worst Feedback section, we finally meet the one listener who LOVES our website. We also hear back from the perfume lady, Dana gets yelled at for telling people not to drink, and the woman we stalk shares an update on her house/albatross.\\n\\nThe Absolute Worst Therapy section begins with a question from a woman who is missing her childhood and somehow this results in Dana ripping on Alison for not speaking Spanish. We also try to help a woman figure out what her BF is up to and then we chastise her for not providing details. Our last listener is wondering if she should reach out to a long-lost family member and Alison and Dana totally disagree as to whether this is reasonable or not.\\n\\nWe end this episode with an Absolute Yourst that makes our vaginas hurt. \\n\\nAlison and Dana ALWAYS want to hear your problems, advice, feedback and Absolute Yoursts! You can contact them through their website, friend them on Facebook, or follow them on Instagram and Twitter.\\n\\n**NOTE**\\nIf you\\u2019re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, the Lifeline network is available 24/7 across the United States.
