Pro tip for those of you like me who hate taking meds and/or have poor executive function, but need to take something at the same time every day:

Make beating your med alarm into a game. When you successfully take your meds (up to 15 mins) before your alarm gets a chance to go off, you get to say "Take that, you stupid alarm!"

(Because otherwise I will sit there for 40 minutes snoozing my alarm even when I'm not currently doing something interesting or important...)

Stuff

*I haven’t been writing personal msgs on my tumblr due to a mental and physical slump. 

*The past few weeks have been particularly troublesome for me; I had a reaction to an anti-depressant (again). The symptoms: itchy skin, vomiting, nausea, vertigo, increased depression, depersonalization, derealization, rashes under my eyes, fatigue, muscle pain. I was taken off the med and had withdrawal side effects. Basically the same list with the addition of extreme anger and intense mood swings. I am the least pleasant person to be near at the moment. : /

*It snowed on Thanksgiving day and that made me feel a little better inside. I don’t know why. I don’t even care to find out why....it was nice. period.

*I’m thankful for friends keeping me sane enough to stay in the world rather than go to the hospital. 

*Barri is sick. She’s had a bladder infection/UTI for the past 3 weeks now. She’s on antibiotics. I think they are helping and she still has a good amount left in the bottle.

*I went to a friends for Thanksgiving. I wasn’t sure I would feel well enough to attend. Despite my depression, I am attempting to act opposite to my urges. I enjoyed spending time in a new environment and meeting new people. Plus, it was good to have a friend around that day.

*Metaphor for my current status: I feel like I am fighting fire breathing dragons with a toothpick. This is true for my physical and mental health. It’s exhausting and dangerous. 

*I’ve been writing more to keep myself present and it’s been helpful for my chaotic mind. I will always be a writer somewhere deep within me. 

*I have cried more in the past few weeks than maybe my entire life. It’s awful. I hate it.
