My bedtime routine is a little different than some (most?) peoples. I was my face, braid my hair, and then count out pills. Each and every one of them serves a unique purpose, but all serve the same goal - keep Kali alive. This assortment consists of: 1 synthroid 1 magnesium 1 vitamin D 1 Abilify 2 duloxetine (Cymbalta) 2 Celebrex 2 Tylenol PM 2 CBD capsules 3 Amitryptaline The hardest part of taking all these meds is making sure that I count 16 pills in my palm every night, and getting them all down in one gulp. The easiest part? The easiest part is taking them knowing that they are helping me. I get asked fairly regularly if I am not worried about being on so many meds, or if I should maybe go off of them, but my response remains - if they are keeping me alive, if they are keeping me sane, if they are protecting me from myself then I am happy to take these for the rest of my life. Because without them? The rest of my life would be significantly shorter. #stoppillshaming #nopillshame #normalizementalhealth #bipolar2 #depressionsupport #hashimotos #ankylosingspondylitis #fibromyalgia #pills #destigmatizementalillness #mentalhealthmonth (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZJaMqBLzCw/?utm_medium=tumblr
