Last month: I’m dropping out of high and joining the circus!

This month: I’m still dropping out of high but actually I’m going to community college to become a veterinary technician

Can you guess which month I was on my meds and which one I was off? The answer might surprise you

(Spoilers for the answer in the tags) (I just went on a rant using the tags)

day 345

soooo guess who has ADHD

the state of Nebraska and its arcane policies have once again laid me low

#day 345 #year 5 #it me #now dont get me wrong. i am Very Very Psyched to have these meds on board.#but i am also. just a wee bit salty. that i could potentially have had them on board for the last NINE YEARS if this psychiatrist had like #simply used a little critical thinking about the assessment technique she was using #but also she looked at me and didnt figure out i was autistic so like theres only so much that can be done for her i think #anyway even though it is pretty rough you can tell im medicated because i did a Fucking Twelve Panel Comic

I dont think some people understand how truly awful and hellish withdrawals from some psych medications are.

#I feel like many many people see it as an overreaction when in reality someone actually feels like they are dying from wds #resent the fact that SO many doctors just prescribe shit all over the place nonstop without explaining the full risks n side effects #it’s scary as fuck honestly #I cannot tell y’all how many meds I have been put on that made me feel worse #or how many times I’ve ran out and not been able to pay for the shit #resulting in an absolute living fucking hell that does not let up until taking the substance again #meds are tricky.. it’s hard to have a definitive opinion in either direction (anti vs pro medication) because each individual is unique #sometimes meds save people’s lives #sometimes they make people suicidal #sometimes they cause complications that literally kill people #sometimes they’re exactly what someone needed to be okay #you just can’t generalize and say statements like ALL MEDS ARE BAD because that simply isn’t true #and you can’t assume everyone’s body/mind will react to a certain medication the same way yours did #oops #accidentally did a tag rant #rant #medical #psychiatry #medication #withdrawal #withdrawals #mental illness #mental health #psych meds #psych medications #medications #prescription medication #prescription medications #american healthcare #healthcare

hey can we stop with the whole "ur a bad abusive person if u don't take ur psychiatric medication" schtick. like it's sooooo tired. pls stop.

#personal autonomy who?#to call it abusive when someone doesn't want permanent brain injury or to be medicated into catatonia is just rlly fuckin sick man #and not those things there are sooooo many reasons to not take psychiatric medication #ik they help some people but it has to be a choice. it absolutely has to be a free choice.#and telling ppl they're abusive for not taking psych meds is so fucked up #incredibly fucked up #like what the actual hell #antipsych #psychiatric medication #mad pride #mental illness #personal autonomy

Take your meds with a shot glass, more fun that way.

I struggle with my mental health and found this makes taking my meds less depressing and a little fun to do, plus helps me remember, too. Love ya🖤

Having a "This might as well happen" day.

#psych still won't send in my script for a very necessary med because she insists she sent it already #pharmacy wouldn't accept my new insurance plan due to an error of their own making #dental crown fell out and the soonest i can get seen is tuesday and i can't afford it but i can't live without it either #i really don't know what i'm going to do #like fuck man i can't stop crying what the fuck do i fucking do #my ramblings

idk if anyone who follows me is in any way religious, but if you are please pray for my lovely cat. he’s doing very bad and today is a make or break day for him. i love him so much and he’s so young, i want to give him a long happy and healthy life. there’s nothing more i can do for him right now.

at 3, i’m going to be able to visit him and i’m going to try and get him to eat. until then…

#s dont look #this is running me over 1000 dollars but i’d go into infinite debt for him #it just fucking sucks that my psych office didn’t fill my meds so i had to miss a week of work

for as much as house says “everybody lies” he does. believe patients about their symptoms far more frequently than any irl doctor would

#‘everybody lies’ *proceeds to acknowledge that a patient having pain is. in fact. a symptom*#this man will take peoples PERSONALITY into account #told my paps doctor that he had suddenly become very violent when his alzheimers first began #and this man went ‘aging and opiods can do that! we could. cut off his pain meds?’#like. MY PAP WITH SEVERELY ADVANCED RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS IS NOT AN OPIOD ADDICT U FUCKING MONSTERS #honestly as someone who has experiences that can very lightly be described as traumatic in the medical system #house is really refreshing and comforting #because everything he does he does because he CARES about patients. because he wants a diagnosis #he doesnt just discount people because they have pre-existing conditions or psych problems or because theyre fat or poor #he still tries to treat them #which is way more than any doctor ive ever had has done #house md #house md shitpost

#kirby #kirby star allies #zan partizanne #me when we don't take our zoloft because it's so bad and we fucking hate it.#(disclaimer: do not stop taking your meds out of nowhere. especially if they actually are helping you.)#(not a good idea no matter what your favorite lightning mage is doing.)#(however according to amy our psych has refused to prescribe us anything other than it for over a year)#(and has outright said that he does not treat other conditions that HE DIAGNOSED US WITH. so yeah fair game here.)#whatever ignore that. this is a funny zan post 💛

#my psych who prescribes my psych meds is a resident and is moving on in a couple of months #i don't even remember the names of them all at this point #this happens over and over and I cannot find a clinic that will put me with someone who intends to stay #thst will also prescribe my adhd meds #and my anxiety meds #and the real kicker is that twice now they have LIED about it and said they would #only to reveal after all the hoop-jumping that oops sorry they didn't really mean it #so it's a risk i have to take any time i leave #and rhen there's the issue of new people almost always wanting to DO something #but instead of talking to me about it they just decide that my meds need overhauling and pressure me to go off shit that works #but that they morally object to i guess #and my psych for some stupid reason has decided she wants bloodwork for my cholesterol and blood sugar stuff and im just like #what hell does THIS presage because if she harasses me about the results or tries to put me on drugs for that #I'll give her a nasty scrap about it #im not interested in those meds at all #and im certainly not messing with my diet since food is the only pleasure i get most days and even that is marginal at best #and removing that would just make me worse #but medpros for the most part really don't give a fuck about that #and so now im afraid - because i do not and cannot trust them - that if i disapprove of the meds they will retaliate somehow #which good luck proving that when management and oversight often don't even care if they course of treatment will HARM you #if it relates to being fat or having bad numbers #they just gotta pathologize!#so yeah im sick of everything and just kind of want to bury myself in a bog forever #i shouldn't have to deal with this

Tomorrow Is Election Day And I Am So Fucking Stressed

#marzi speaks #marzivents #hi folks. i haven’t been making much art lately. apologies! i want to be #unfortunately shit is Stressful in both my little world (i’m starting to get overwhelmed with my meds and refills and driving)#and on a broader more societal scale (if trump gets re-elected shit is going to go so fucking bad oh my god)#PLUS we’re in the It Gets Dark At 6PM Zone now #i think i’ve lowkey been catastrophizing a bit with all that’s been going on #i should probs look into those psych referrals my doctor gave me #she offered them bc the almost-dying earlier this year was Traumatic and i was showing signs of anxiety/depression #but i think they’ll just be helpful in general #god though i hate being on prescriptions. it feels like there’s a constant timer hanging over my head #refill these pills before this time so you don’t have to miss a day. woops! the pharmacy’s out of stock on this one #so you’ll have to come back at another less convenient time. fail to do so and the medication goes on hold #which requires a phone call where you speak to a Robot that may not understand the nuances of ur situation #grrrgh it sucks so bad. thankfully i refilled my prednisone the other day and have like 3 months’ worth now #and that’s the one i really can’t afford to miss bc steroid withdrawals could really fuck me up #but uggghhh i hate it. so much. bc it looms over me always #i hate keeping track of when i’ve taken my pills too. i keep a checklist for every day #so i remember what i have to take and if i’ve taken it #but god it sucks. i’m at the point where it’s basically routine now so i do it automatically #but i know if i stop monitoring i’m gonna forget if i’ve taken my steroid one day #and either double dose or skip the day. and that’ll fuck me up pretty good #anyways. hoping hoping hoping this election goes well bc idk if i can take it if our country tis of thee elects the fucking fascist #this one’s fine to rb. i think many of us share this sentiment lmao

they recently had us switch to a new organization and calendar system at work (including some new software but mostly “this is how you should organize your entire life and you will know peace and never miss a task again!!”). at least half of the system is just a digital version of what i was already doing, and other parts of it are better, so i have no idea why it took me out at the knees. i had been riding a long sweet wave of low anxiety and now i'm trapped in a byzantine maze of highly doable tasks and shaking like a shelter dog in a crate—the exact opposite of what the system is supposed to do.

and the craziest part is that somehow... i can't seem to go back to my old system anymore either?? it's only been a few weeks! i used that for five years!! it’s like i have forgotten how to do the most basic parts of my job or make decisions. my brain turned into a stack of marbles and now they’re all over the floor.

like damn, apparently those crayola markers and glitter stickers were a load-bearing structural element of my professional competence. how do i explain that to regular people.

#i would love for this new system to work for me! it looks fantastic!!#i'm told if we 'fight through our resistance' and 'commit to it completely' it'll Fix Us and we'll never be stressed again #they took away my highlighters and my higher brain functions expired on the spot #fyi a coworker asked 'hey what about neurodivergence' and they said 'actually everyone with adhd loves it and it fixed them :)'#so...???? to be fair idk if i have even have adhd. like a psych professional told me i do but in the funniest possible way #it was an aside as i was leaving an appointment. columbo-style medical diagnosis.#'btw this is also wrong with you. but the meds would fuck you up so don't worry about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯'#thanks? okay. sounds good boss 👍

#so there's a perforation into my sinus cavity #which I KNEW I fucking KNEW I felt it the evening after my surgery #and they were like “well we didn't see any perforation but you can come in if you're worried”#and I psyched myself out and didn't push it #and now it's been two hours since I took pain meds and I'm in just as much pain and there's a HOLE in my FACE #that I can BLOW AIR THROUGH WITH MY MOUTH CLOSED #just my FUCKING luck
