also an update on the ADHD situation: nz only gets access to four meds, two of which are the same thing with different release times, and one nonstimulant. I've tried two! one of them made me irrationally angry and the other made me incredibly forgetful and also reacted poorly with my melatonin which has now actually caused me injuries. i'm gonna go on the fast release of my current one and if that fails, the nonstimulant. and if THAT fails, a secret fifth medication will be unlocked (nz's getting a couple more meds approved for use next year)
#stingyass fucking country lol. i just want to finish thos outstanding commissions its like five years at this point#the one i'm trying next is ritalin. which has a small chance of possibly exploding me but like.. whatever. yknow#im stopping the melatonin btw. it caused pretty bad hypnopompic hallucinations and i'd react to them and fell out of bed twice#thought i broke my finger. it's very badly sprained and still hasn't healed after three weeks :/

#delete later#another journal entry 📝 for the void#i have not been sleeping well for the past 2 wks 😵💫 i always wake up like clockwork after 5-6 hrs which feels like not nearly enough#i feel like i've done everything there is to do (consistent exercise + consistent sleep times + earplugs + weighted blanket + no caffeine)#last night i took melatonin too but no... same problem staying asleep 😭#ahh whatever. i'm just frustrated that it has to be this way :(#anyways in an act of spite i reread like the 4 wips that have been sitting in my drafts from the past few weeks#i think something that will never cease to surprise me about writing is that more effort/time doesn't necessarily translate to better#results; i suppose that's the case with all kinds of art but#it does feel somewhat unintuitive. one of my fav professors in uni said to not dismiss those 'lightning in a bottle' moments (in art) as#blind luck... but to instead analyze the circumstances and iterate on recreating them. and i think one of my artist friends who i deeply#respect said something similar (wrt artistic rituals/setup). i have too many thoughts on writing and on my own creative processes and#weaknesses to fit into any number of tags here. :') that said...#*shakes ch2 draft* after everything i did and all the hours i spent WHY are you still so bad?!!! D: i am baffled and frustrated.#and why do i prefer this other [redacted] draft which i hammered out with utterly no regard towards the quality??#anyways. back to the drawing board i guess T.T

something about that whole incident must have changed something in my brain chemistry cause my insomnia’s gotten bad again
the past few days i’ve getting to sleep at two or three. kinda sucks i guess, but i don’t really want to resort to taking melatonin again
#i took melatonin every night for a year straight and now i get frequent headaches and nightmares every time i sleep#is that the melatonin or is that the year that most of my trauma comes from/when it got worse#hard to say. maybe both. i don’t remember!#and y’know it sucks not being able to go to sleep#because i can’t even read after a certain point#it gets too watery and everywhere and it’s difficult to figure out the words and letters#mmm i did say you wouldn’t be hearing from me until tomorrow#but it’s past midnight here so that’s fine it’s fine#i don’t like tumblr anymore. i don’t like being here anymore#i get scared whenever i get activity now. i get uncomfortable just having the tab open#how pathetic is that?#really pathetic. really fucking pathetic#probably because i know they’re still looking at me and i hate being watched#y’know i have thoughts like ford but the only demon here is my faulty synapses#it feels pathetic. i feel pathetic. i don’t have a reason like he does#and even then people say he doesn’t have enough of a reason#i’m so fucking pathetic

when sleep is my only escape from this shithole
#when you get 8 hours of sleep every night but still feel fucking wiped every day you know you’re fucked#still spend hours staring up at the ceiling even after taking triple the amount of melatonin i’m supposed too#aspd thoughts#cluster b#aspd#actually cluster b#cluster b safe#aspd safe#actually antisocial#actually aspd#hpd safe#npd safe#i am insane#bpd vent#personal vent#depressing shit#actually mentally ill#actually bpd#take me out of here

I tried to see a new psychiatrist but was refused because I use Delta 8 weed (which is sold legally in the smoke shop near me) and said she thinks that the way it's advertised might be "dangerous for society" even though I emphasized that it's to manage my chronic pain that keeps me up at night. Like yeah I know some studies say weed can make certain issues like depression and anxiety worse, but that's not my experience, and she did not try to understand the nuance of it at all. It's just very frustrating. Sorry you don't "feel comfortable" adding me to your practice because of how I manage my chronic pain, but trying to use melatonin or sleep medication instead is not going to help my problems.
#oirghgh its so frustrating.#like yes i know it can make depression and anxiety worse but it has done the opposite for me#when my joints hurt so bad that its impossible to fall asleep or be comfortable thats not something melatonin will fix ive tried#its like after i brought it up she just totally forgot that i am legitimately diagnosed with adhd and thought#“this guy clearly just wants Adderall because he is a drug doer”#this too is the fault of Ronald Reagan#ranting#weed tw

idk how to explain it but a rage-driven desire to change the world coupled with the anticipation of finally dealing with something weighing on me for a long time and the relief that something can be done about that thing but also. racing thoughts and being unable to not act Right Now or say no to any of the ideas I have on how this can be done, while also having a breakthrough and processing a bunch of things that have happened to me and how they impacted me all of a sudden—that’s not normal ‘period is about to hit’ behaviour/experience is it?
#see I really don’t think I’m manic rn. I think this’ll wear off to something normal in a couple of days#but it’s also that feeling of having repressed something for so long and it comes out all at once and I feel lighter and empowered#that’s the feeling. empowerment. with a side of desperation but the desperation isn’t fearful; it’s more like hypomania#or the excitement of being stuck on something for so long and finally! having a lead! for a potential solution!#I went through all stages of grief And a very rushed half of the design process in the last 45 minutes. this should not be possible#rapid mood shifts mixed with exploding after bottling soemthing up (but the rage is positive for me bc I made it that way) and underlying#mixed depression and hypomania with constant stress on top? would that do it? Is the hypomania coming back? or just my personality?#or a mix of the adhd and pda profile that I spiral in positive thoughts and get super energised as well as in negative ones (the latter les#when all I can think of is how therapy works too slow for me. is that something that needs to be accommodated or a symptom?#personal mental health tag#bipolar#bpd#throwing it in these tags so someone can weigh in. conditions I more or less meet criteria for#or is it unlocking a memory and facts about myself that I repressed via dissociation? could be many things. I’m excited. I want to sleep#and I’m about to double dose on my melatonin to try that sounds like a bad idea. even it can’t kick whatever excitement chemical in my body#(also I’m obv not gonna take more than double)#but imagine feeling trapped all the time. then you find hope to feel free. of course you’d be excited

its rly weied to think that super conservative mormon chaser dudes have been into me since way before i came out. it was a running joke in my jr high/hs friend group that i was a trap. one guy routinely used me as "wrestling practice" while i knew absolutely nothing about it, n it was basically him just tossing me around like a ragdoll, another would take me and only me to movies, but wouldnt socialize with me around his friends outside of school, and also once said that i had "the breeding hips of a woman", and another one locked me in a band locker (i asked him to it looked cozy. ive always been like this what can i say) n threatened to not let me out if i didnt promise to sit next to him on the bus to a band trip we were going to... one of these guys joined one of those nazi militatias, another one is married with a kid, and i have no idea what happened to the third. growing up in the heart of mormon land rly was a trip. i was so scared of being outed at the time too, so i rly didnt play into any of it. weird that they just decided that was a thing tho
#im sry this is a super random ramble#n if ur wondering why i was friends with lovers like that.. its literally how everyone my age in my hometown thought at the time#apparently its gotten better but i was very much a black sheep but charismatic enough to make ppl like me#okay the melatonin is hitting hard n thats prob why im rambling like this sry again#but yea thats why i dont entertain chasers at all#it gets so old after like 2yrs#k gn gn gn <3

oh no. i feel like if i do not consume an entire load of bread in the very near future i will simply cease to exist.
#very uh. very worried about my finances right now#like. i'm fine. i have some savings. but i also just got to put something into my savings for the first time in a VERY long time and now#now i immediately have to take it out#and i'm getting stressed out about buying groceries#because if i dip into my savings here what about there? where is the line?#and i owe so much to taxes but i can't exactly afford getting less of my pay......#my last paycheck was $0.66 more than my rent#my insurance is refusing to reimburse the last of my electrolysis visits from last year and like#i'm SO over the fight but that's $120. that i really actually kinda need?#and i'm starting to get that funny in the head feeling about wondering how i'm going to feed myself#i still feel so much shame about that funeral i went to years ago and my only thought during the reception after was about#how there was just so much food and i could actually eat my fill#i have leftovers for dinner tonight and it's fine but.... making a lovely vegan dish wasn't the best choice tbh#i feel like if i don't have a large helping of bread and meat i'm going to go insane#and it really REALLY doesn't help that i've apparently lost the ability to eat in the mornings#so i'm at quite a significant fuel deficit and it's stacking#but no matter how hungry i am in the morning the concept of processing solid food is just repulsive and daunting#eating a clif bar at 9am would take literally all of my spoons for the day#i was looking at protein shakes since i can handles *drinking* breakfast#but the cheapest one that meets my dietary requirements is $35 for a 12pack#and i'm uh. i'm worrying over spending $10 on produce this week#personal#and nevermind that i don't have the spoons to even GO shopping (:#(on an aside i switched back to my regular melatonin gummies last night and i Actually Slept. so hopefully that will continue and help some)#i just want to curl up in a ball on the floor and have someone gently place a roll of bread and hunk of cheese next to me in my enclosure#also it's photophobia season and i still feel like i haven't recovered from saturday#got too much sunlight and was nauseaus for half the day#my body feels so bad

People wonder why I don’t drink coffee as if I can sleep regularly without added melatonin. As if I don’t have so so much natural anxiety that I have pills for that too. As if I wouldn’t just dissociate my way through the caffeine-induced anxiety, such that I would end up effectively being more tired than I was originally.
But of course I don’t owe them my medical history. I just smile and say “My body doesn’t process caffeine well.”
#today in: I forgot that I need melatonin to sleep again and so I took it too late after waiting to ‘feel sleepy’ and now I’m gonna miss out#on sleep and tomorrow’s gonna suuucklk#especially driving in the morning….. too much stimuli turns my brain off#vent#brain thoughts#void.txt

Me thinking about a tag for Estinien: IF THAT JUST WHAT DRAGOONS DO WHEN THEY FINISH THEIR DAY JOB? JUST FUCKING GO ON TOUR?
#i thought of Kain just fucking off after FF4#and then Estinien just off and about#thought most likely in Radz at Han with his bestie#and it just dawned on me#it's late i need to be in bed but I'm not tired#waiting for the melatonin to kick in

why does scheduling my work days give me so much stress and anxiety
#i was supposed to do my first day at the high school today but i had literally so much anxiety i could not fall asleep last night no matter#what. i had so much dread. i took so much melatonin lol.#i could shut my brain off till i went into the application and deleted my schedule for the day#ive just been feeling so fatigued and exhausted since i got covid it's crazy. sometimes i'll have bursts of energy where im productive#but yesterday i was just so tired from loading the washing machine. just. fucking sorting clothes and putting them in#that i had to lie down on the floor for a few minutes in the middle of it#not my finest moment#tales from diana#i didn't have anything scheduled for tomorrow and i thought 'maybe if i feel better tonight ill call in'#but i dont feel. super better tonight. and the only thing that i could do tomorrow at my preferred school is kindergarten subbing#for like the main classroom teacher. which i havent done before so i figured 'yeah im not gonna get my anxiety up 2 days in a row'#i deserve to sleep tonight after all and i think if i committed to that i wouldnt be able to#but i am going into my elementary school on wed-thur-friday of this week. wednesday is only a half day but they'll probably find smth for me#to do in the afternoon. they usually do. and im fine w that.#idk im just much more comfortable in my elementary school. i guess bc ive worked there before and i went to school there#as a wittle student waaaay back in the day. like i know the building and it doesn't scare me and i know a good amount of kids there#and the staff don't intimidate me. so yeah.#i did schedule my first job at the high school FOR REAL THIS TIME and it's next friday. hopefully ill be doing better by then.#im working the thursday before it at the elementary so i'll be in the rhythm of that. idk how to explain it but it's harder to go back#to work when ive taken a day off. like that's also why im not going in tomorrow.#friday (4/07) was the first day i worked since i got covid and that was fine but also. i was so anxious just to go in.#and so so so so tired when i got home. and all weekend.#yeah i wasn't ready to start working at the high school today. that was nonsense.#hopefully all will go well on wednesday thursday and friday of this week. im trying to restore my energy and fix my sleep. thatll do wonders#i hope. i hope i hope i hope

No C-PAP. Don't even get to try it to see if it would improve my quality of life. He just diagnosed me with insomnia and told me to go seek alternative sleep aid elsewhere.
One thing he asked was if I took melatonin. I do, I even pair it up with benadryl and told him it doesn't help. My sleep is not restful, I can't stay asleep either, AND I feel horribly fatigued all day. After that, he just suggested doubling up on it (10mg would become 20mg), and I think... That sounds... Ummmm?
#she speaks#And I really dont want to try ambien#If it dissolves my already thinning impulse control something horrible might happen#I just want to not feel like I need to lay down for 18 hours after doing dishes. Is that like? To much of an ask?#Oh right#Dear Diary#I also thought. That I read. That you shouldnt be taking melatonin everyday.#Because if you do that then your brain builts a resistance and the medicine stops working. So you're supposed to space it out.
