#tw medication mention

[borderlinereminders]

It is not a moral failing to need medication to manage symptoms. You are not a bad person or a failure if you can’t solely cope without meds. Taking medication is valid and you are valid.

when the first pinof react came out a year ago i GENUINELY had a terrible time watching it. i felt ill. it made me so anxious like the psychic damage was indescribable. they just acknowledged so much that they weren’t supposed to know and said so many uhhh… Things that it gave me a full parasocial crisis. it took me EIGHT HOURS to watch. i had to take a fucking klonopin (which i refer to as ‘the phlonopin’) (prescribed—don’t do benzos recreationally please i’m begging you) to watch the second one.

but in this past year, we have been subjected to the most insane shit from them. we saw phil bite dan’s tail. they made their dolls 69 on stage (and also basically fucking grinded during a homoerotic wrestling scene on that same stage AND pretended they were fucking off stage). they acted out a ten year old post about them hard launching and pretended to kiss. they cosplayed ineffable husbands. they confirmed sharing a bed during tatinof. they played the newlyweds game and “the ultimate date night game for couples”. they wrote phanfic about them being gay prince lovers. this barely scratches the surface.

now i can watch pinof react 1 and i don’t even flinch at “it was an 11 hour fuck session”. i’m like “ok and??”

tldr exposure therapy works.

Is it sad that one of the highlights of my day is eating my gummy vitamins because they taste good?

You ok, Jude?

You aren't getting cluster headaches, right?

Thanks for checking in! ♡ Possible, but unlikely. I've been diagnosed with chronic migraines and am on an oral medication every other day for them. It was a biiiiitch to fight insurance over, but I have an amazing PCP (now, after years) who is very receptive of my needs! We've come to the conclusion that it's something that goes hand-in-hand with my Fibromyalgia! It suuuucks, but I'm dealing with it~ I know my limits now, and know when I need to go hide in a dark room. Today's migraine even eased up while I was out, surprisingly!

a little update + headcanon requests?

hello pals!

I'm so sorry I totally disappeared there for over a month 😭😭 I tried to get back on my anxiety/ocd medication and my brain/body decided that we were simply not having it and instead gave me nearly debilitating levels of anxiety for like two weeks in response 😭😭 anyway, I had no energy for pretty much anything at all, and it took me over a month to crawl out of the trenches of those side effects and then I started my phd program, so shit's been a little wild over here ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

aaaaaanywayyyy I would love to get back into writing a little bit! I'm definitely not up to doing a whole fic or even a blurb, but I was thinking I could do some headcanons! in just a little bit I'm going to make a separate post with more info on requesting headcanons if you would like to do so! ☺️☺️

(also I'm so sorry to the lovely people in my inbox with requests, I promise I still have them, I'm just not ready to dive back into fics yet ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹)

☀️ SUN - are they a morning person? what is the first thing they do in the morning?

"When I worked the diner, total night owl. But now, I'm up at normal hours like a human being. Not before the sun rises, oh no. That's just criminal. But I do wake up without an alarm clock, on time, all of the time. First thing I do is brush my teeth and take my medication, or I make a bowl of cereal. It's one of those, in any order. Nothing else gets done until those three do."

fell asleep at 7 and missed the entire show because it took over a week to approve my new sleep medication and i haven't been sleeping so hopefully i don't miss anything else :(

[mayangelsleadyouin]

HI THERE!!!!!!!!! okay so i visited one of my best friends and her family which was wonderful, and i started a new med last night and slept through the night/didn't feel anxious in the morning for the first time in months. hoping it continues to help!

3 hours, medium psychological damage, and 1 klonopin later and i can proudly say i made it through that 32 minute video. there is nothing that you can’t achieve in this life 😤💪

She looked at me NSAID I do

my beautiful wife ibuprofen

[ladyfarona]

They should invent a painkiller that's not acetaminophen or aspirin or naproxen or ibuprofen. We're long overdue for an upgrade in OTC meds who's with me.

I want to go back on my meds again cus life hss been messy and meds help but they also destroy my ability to write!! Not only does it change my brain while in meds but then when I get back off them (because I don't have enough and can't afford to find another psychiatrist to prescribe them to me again without insurance) it changes my brain again and puts me so very behind!!! But I want to feel better and be emotionally regulated and succeed at work and not shut down!!!

Anyway that's my rant while I'm up past my bedtime aka when the bad thoughts exist hopefully I'll actually post a chapter for something soon---

[wireidol]

went to the doctor today to get new meds and i was antsy and got defensive when i had to talk about my mental health and when i apologized for acting out of line my doctor goes "you don't get that with ADD".. ma'am i just have the awareness to know my disorders aren't an excuse to be a dick..
