the worst part about it is that i cant hate you. i cant. you have been nothinb but wonderful and loving towards me for the last two months.
it would be different if you were some cruel, horrible, manipulative person. but you’re not.
you always ask about my day. you ask me about how im feeling, if i am doing ok. hè asks me questions bcs ‘hè wants to get to know me better’.
he sends me red hearts and hè sends me drawn hearts on snapchat. hè is nothing but a wonderful and thoughtful human being.
we’re eachother’s number 1 best friend on snapchat for months now and we send a minimum of 300 snaps/texts a day, and not counting when we talk at school.
hè makes me laugh. hè distracts me when im having a bad day with a funny story of his. he asks me if i want to talk about it, and if i do he listens contently, if i say i dont want to talk about it, he drops it and starts another conversation.
so how can i hate someone like that. i cant.
and yet, when he asked me for girl advice on how to ask his crush to prom, everytging hurt. i trachee for the bottle and now im lying in my bed crying and drunk as i am writing this.
but he deserves her. shes pretty. shes skinny. shes not fucked. she hasnt been depressed for the last 5 years of her life. she never self-harmed. shes perfect for him.
i want to let go of him. i cant keep doing this to myself, but on the other hand, i deserve to get hurt. i care about almost nothing in this world, so i should feel what it feels like to get stabbed repeatedly.
he deserves someone like her. not like me.
Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise.
Around June I stopped taking my eye medication because I hadn’t had a problem with my eyes in months. I got really lazy about doing it; then I stopped them altogether.
Turns out, the reason I stopped having problems with my eyes was because I was religiously taking my medication. Whodathunk. Now I have to work to get back to the place I was before I decided I was “better” (I wasn’t!).
If you thought this post was just about anti-depressants or lithium, it could be! For me, this post is about eyedrops, for you it might be about antibiotics, or it might be about zoloft. Whatever it is, please consider talking to your doctor before making a sudden shift to stop taking it. It’s not bad to be on medication. It’s not bad to need it.
…and on a related note, do not let anyone tell you that because you start feeling worse if you don’t take your medication, that means you’re “addicted”. That is not how addiction works.
Okay everyone reblog this version
on a similar note, always take the full course of your prescribed antibiotics. saving some for later or for a friend who can’t afford them is a kind thought, but in practice all you’re doing is breeding the bacteria that survived the first wave of antibiotics, and then whoever catches those will be fucked when their penicillin or whatever doesn’t work. take them as directed until you run out.
My book is about my experiences with psychosis and all the bullshit I’ve dealt with because of it. It’s also about just learning to heal. I think my story is an important one, for myself and others. Please reblog this link if you can. There is a $15 dollar ebook option for those who prefer ebooks or don’t have much money. You are also able to just contribute a few dollars if that’s all you can do. Support from the wonderful mental health community on tumblr, the one that I’ve been part of for so long, would mean the absolute world to me!
It will also include some of my art, some of which has been reblogged on here countless times.

I haven’t had to update this in a while, which has been good, in this case no news really has been good(ish) news.
So what’s happened since last April? To sum up:
> I caught so many bugs it was unbelievable, but none of them caused any hospital visits and as my immune system regained its strength I did stop catching everything.
> I have Trigeminal Neuralgia & take Carbamazapine to stop it from causing me pain, which coincidentally has also seemed to help my back problems.
> I still have to use crutches every so often, but much less than I was starting to use them.
> I’ve had 3 mysterious skin allergic reactions (as shown in previous post), around 10 issues with my eye - itching/pain - that was stopped by piriton - & now have very dry skin/eczema on my eyelids (Aveeno cream clears it up within 24 each time). The GP I saw has suggested that this is all an allergic reaction to the TN meds, but the TN is definitely still worse than all of that. I’m yet to see if my neuro agrees…
> I had a 2 week spell of headaches behind the eyes couple with some mild vertigo recently, but optician couldn’t find an issue, neither could the GP. Again, yet to really bring it up with anyone on the MS team.
> Fatigue, stiffness and memory issues are unfortunately still ever present, but I think they might be something that stick with me for ever to be honest.
> There have (of course) been other issues here & there, but right now none spring to mind…
Looking through the side effects of a new medication
30 minutes after you take your medication
Once again it has been a while since I have posted on here but I am hoping that now I have an actual computer, not a laptop that I keep dropping, that I will be posting a lot more.
Not much has gone on really, i’m still ill but not so heartbroken any more which is a good thing I suppose, finally think I may actually be getting over him. Still depressed and anxious plus ive gained weight due to being on steroids for a prolong amount of time. I keep trying to stay positive, but its really fucking hard too, I know things could be a lot worse but they could also be a lot better, I think what gets to me the most is the fact that there is just no end in sight with my illness, especially as none of the medication that they use for my condition works on me,

Thedeath of Michael Jackson occurred on June 25, 2009, where the American artist, described as the “King of Pop” for his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his home in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles County Coronerconcluded that his death was a homicide. Shortly before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered propofol and two anti-anxiety drugs in his home. His personal physician was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 and served a two-year prison sentence.
Jackson’s death triggered an outpouring of reactions around the world. A public memorial service for Jackson was held on July 7, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where he had rehearsed for planned London concerts the night before his death. The service was broadcast live around the world, attracting a global audience of up to one billion people.

Winter gloom is setting in outside, time to fill the comic with ponk to offset the utter lack of color and light.
There was a strong temptation to make her expressions more wild on this one as well, but considering the subject matter that felt… inappropriate. That middle panel is pure sugar-tier sweet tho.

Jfjskkd so I got my new prescription today for Suboxone and I went to cut the pills in half like normal, since I do a half at night and half in the morning. Well, got to the second of two tabs and my pill cutter exploded. So I called them and was like hey in the future could we just do the same total in 2mg tablets rather than 8mg tablets? And she sort of paused like weird question but okay. And I was like I break the pills in half and I almost got diced by the pill cutter
And I hear this little chuckle in the background followed by a much louder “of course!” followed by more laughter. Which like, can’t blame them for it. I laughed pretty hysterically. After I got over the fear that I almost dropped a brand new prescription of Suboxone down the drain and would have had to wait until Friday to refill it.
Meowmeow is a very well behaved cat, most cats aren’t this easy but the information is helpful. If you can’t pill your pet tell your veterinarian! We can often get medicine made into easier to give forms like liquids, gel, transdermal, or tiny pills that melt in the tongue. Not all medication can be made into different forms but we can always find out. Also keep in mind that getting meds compounded does increase the cost a bit but often it’s worth it.
