Dozed off while watching anime on the sofa

Turns out that focusing my mind on something funny/silly and not constantly obsessing over anxious thoughts and worst case scenarios ends up working better on me than my prescription sleep aids do.

It's still a challenge of course but I hadn't let myself relax and watch something lighthearted in so long because I felt like it wasn't "productive" enough and now I'm realizing I need to give myself breaks way more often than I have been lately.

Also, the family room is the only room of the house that gets slightly cooler, so I wasn't sweating myself to death from the heat for once. If I can get away with sleeping there more often then I just might start doing that because the heat in the bedrooms is unbearable.

Hello random wave of new followers. Guess who just switched bi-polar meds and is ready to write again?!

Dear internet community…

Heads up that if for whatever reason you need to wean off Lexapro (aka escitalopram oxylate, a common SSRI anti-anxiety med) …

Don’t do what I did.

I misunderstood my doctor (who is lovely, if a bit straightforward) and weaned off my meds entirely in the month between appointments.

You know what you’re NOT supposed to do with lexapro?! Wean off them as quickly as that.

“What are you supposed to do?!” I hear you ask…

Weaning off it supposed to take about 2-3 MONTHS. NOT WEEKS. MONTHS.

It has some pretty gnarly side effects as you come off. For me, I’ve now been dizzy for a month solid, and the random crying episodes can go to hell.

I’m 6/6 with this checklist 😅😅😅

I officially finished my 4th iwatex game, and am somehow already halfway through my 5th

I have 96 hours logged. I started playing this game only 10 days ago.

Heck.

Error: sometimes timed events like medication have delayed effects on failure. We intend to have these proc sooner than this.

I may be incapable of asking for help but I do need everyone to know when I’m being so so brave about fighting The Horrors™️
