#risks of antidepressants

[prince-liest]

Hi, I just wanted to say I really like your stuff! You were one of the first fanfiction writers I ever got into, and your radiostatic writing is some of the best I've ever read! The 666 series is definitely my favorite, and I've always loved your characterization and expansive vocabulary. After I discovered some of your cool stuff on Ao3, I followed you on Tumblr, and it's super awesome learning more about what you're interested in and all that jazz. I always find your posts about plants and life working in the medical field super informative and intriguing, and I've even done some research on plants on my own time because I thought they were so neat. And I also find it super awesome to learn new medical terms and facts from you. Fun fact, I'm also the anon from the other day's girlfriend who "consistently checks and reloads your blog to see if you have posted," and she's right, I think your stuff is super cool! This is way longer than I wanted it to be, and I am indeed yapping your ear off, but what I was planning to ask is if you could share what kind of music you like? Thanks <333

Ahhhh, thank you so much for your lovely words! <3 I'm genuinely really happy that my blog can bring a little bit of interest excitement into your life! I generally post about things I enjoy and my own nerdery so it's always gratifying to know I'm sharing my interests with folks that also like them!

As for my taste in music: I think it's fairly eclectic, but it kind of just boils down to "things I find catchy." I'm particularly fond of songs that tell stories (ie. musicals, those country songs about women killing their husbands, I used to be really into Vocaloids), but for the most part I'm just a sucker for bops. If I had to narrow it down to a selection of genres, it would probably be musical theatre, rock, and pop. Definitely not restricted to those genres at all, though.

Lately I've been listening to Careful What You Wish For (the doctor said to) by Jack Harris because it fits the driving to work at 5am vibes, even though it makes me want to yell, "That's not how 'antidepressants can increase your risk of suicide' works!!!!!" about one of the lines lmaoooo

this post sucks lol can't we leave this bullshit in 2015. pharma companies wish they were allowed to say this. but they can't because it is demonstrably false. signed someone who was made suicidal by antidepressants (among other deleterious effects!) with zero prior history of suicidality.

I’ve got some Dutch chocolate ice cream and pulled out a mocktail, I’m ready to read fics that I’ve missed.

in discussing bodily autonomy and ableism and stuff, some people need to understand that there could be a medication or therapy that could exponentially help someone’s condition, but disabled people are under no obligation to accept it

are periods supposed to feel like small exorcisms every time like i am being torn apart and flayed from the inside out

love how my shitty health insurance chose THE perfect time to expire. just really impeccable timing

As someone with chronic illness it's always confused me when people fear-monger about HRT by saying stuff like "It has a chance to cause [insert symptom here] as a side effect!" Like yeah man, that's kinda what medications do. They cause side effects, it's basically like a law of equivalent exchange thing. You discuss with your doctor your options and weigh whether the side effects are worth the benefit. I thought everyone knew this?

y'all, when I realized I was nonbinary I did not expect getting gender dysphoria from buying vitamins

Would you rather be a Lunar or a Solar Solstice Warrior, if you were able to choose?

(and what might your title be?)

Lunar! Having a summer birthday would be weird, honestly, and my perpetually-vitamin-d-deficient ass would not be able to handle solar anything.

As for title...hm. Let's go with Lunar Lore Weaver, and lean into the textile-themed magical powers. My weapon of choice would be a skein of yarn.

Being on antidepressants does not stop me from taking cold medication because apparently I prefer mental illness over physical illness

[thickest-slimiest-malware]

i hate walking by the tv and hearing the worst shit ever without fail. its often like "police open up" or couples having the loudest, most ear piercing screaming arguements over cheating but just now i walked by and the guy was """confessing""" that his evil psychiatrist gave him alzheimers like why do my grandparents need to hear that. they could be listening to music or watch a cooking show or something idk. i hate cop shows so much man

[snarltoothed]

if i was rich there IS a “cosmetic” procedure i’d get done for my own comfort. i’d botox my fucking sweat glands. granted because my sweat response is broken and im always uncomfortable and would easily succumb to hypothetmia because i dont stop sweating in the cold

Researching nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFD) so I can go to my PCP and get further tests done to make sure 1) I'm not pre-diabetic and 2) see if I need to go on a cholesterol medication for now. And I see this gem in the Google search results:

Good thing I'm not on high doses of TWO antidepressants right now 🙃 😭

thinking about the research hypotheses of the role of serotonin and dopamine in low harm avoidance in association with risk taking recreation and how I want to lock every f1 driver up in a lab for psychological study
