Happy self care Sunday! ☀️🌷 In honor of the day, I'm making a fresh loaf of bread with Sif and doing a rose face mask. 🤍
I would love it if y'all shared what one of your favorite acts of self care is?! 🥺🤎

Me, crying because although I have many people who love me I have no one irl I can share my interests and passions with because every time I talk about the things I love they get obviously or verbally annoyed and tell me they're sick of me talking about it so much even though I listen to theirs and I just have so so so many thoughts and theories and opinions and facts and they make me so happy but I have no one to share them with without alienating me further from the people I love and I would give anything for someone who would just be happy to listen: wait did I take my antidepressants today?

The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.
And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).
His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"
And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.
The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.
I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."
I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.
So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.
My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.
My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.
Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.

Part I of a mini-sketchy comic based on this interview.
Pt. II - Pt. III incoming
And an occasion to draw Buxom Tiffany Titfucker, I feel like her and Angel's rivalry is criminally unexplored.
(on a completely different note: I'm a person who manages to draw little comics now? And posts it? And doesn't have a self-hate session even if the drawings are a bit crappy? ME?? WTF happened)

Mentally chill (thanks to my meds)
Digital illustration of a fem wearing a fuzzy coat and tank top. The image has a strong orange color palette and there’s a speech bubble with text that reads, ‘it’s okay if you need meds to be okay.’ There’s a banner overhead that reads, ‘mentally chill’
