Welcome to Haunted By Adulthood, where we dive deep into the complexities of being in your early 20s.
Each week, we explore the struggles and triumphs of adulthood, touching on mental health, personal growth, and the pressures society places on us. We also delve into the eerie and unsettling, with a mix of true crime cases, horror movies, and mysterious stories that will send chills down your spine.
Whether you’re navigating life’s challenges or craving a good spooky tale, this podcast brings you thought-provoking conversations and creepy content.
This episode is a soft return. I open up about where I’ve been, why I stepped back, and how trying to cope with personal struggles led me to distraction, burnout, and eventually needing to slow down and reset. It’s honest, grounded, and about choosing to come back with more intention.
Then, in The Dark Corner, we revisit A Nightmare on Elm Street, diving into why Freddy Krueger still haunts our dreams, the fear of falling asleep, iconic scenes that still hold up, and why this classic somehow became one of my ultimate comfort horror movies.
Get ready for real talk about coping, comfort horror, and easing back into things, because sometimes the scariest part isn’t the monster, it’s avoiding rest… especially when Freddy’s waiting for you on Elm Street.

Ep 9. Health Anxiety // The Slender Man Stabbing
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the struggles of health anxiety—the endless cycle of overanalyzing symptoms, Googling worst-case scenarios, and feeling like every ache or pain is a sign of something serious. I’ll be sharing my personal experiences with health anxiety, how it has impacted my daily life, and the coping strategies that have helped me manage it.
Please note that the breath and reboot segment ends at 24:35
Then, in The Dark Corner, we’re exploring one of the most disturbing true crime cases tied to internet folklore—the Slender Man stabbing. In 2014, two 12-year-old girls lured their friend into the woods and brutally attacked her, all in an attempt to appease the fictional entity Slender Man. We’ll break down the case, the psychological and cultural impact of internet myths, and how digital horror can blur the line between fiction and reality.
Tune in for a raw and thought-provoking episode that blends real-life fears with the unsettling side of the internet.
