Failed Relationships - Clonepin
Anxiety as a child, anxiety as an adult, but on the boundary between the two, I was tested to see what my genes had to say about what relationships would work best for me.
Long, long hair, dark and flowing. Dark, dark robes, long and flowing. Your touch was always cold and your eyes were always warm, unfocused. You spoke in a deep voice, you trilled sweet nothings in a voice that sounded like you were mocking a higher register. It was as if you drifted to and from about my room, no walking-cadence to the way you traverse the floor.
I slept through you, and that was to your liking. What did you do to me when I couldn’t hold onto consciousness enough to enjoy your company? You’d float through the office as I worked, petting my head and pushing my head down onto my desk.
Ten-hour work shift, my face against my desk. Answering the phone, possessed by an alien spirit, and the staring. So much staring. You left me, I wonder who you found.

if you're thinking about not taking your medication, don't do it. Thats the devil talking. Talk to someone first, preferably a doctor or nurse.
I was feeling the big sad and bad these last few days. I thought I was really tired and a bit stressed because of my family (which contributed but not the direct cause). The main cause? I was forgetting to take my anxiety meds. The thought to take them would just slip my mind, and unfortionatly I don't have a reminder set (why? Because I've been doing a stellar job about remembering to take them before).
Yes, there were a few more stressors in my life that were adding as to why I was feeling the big bad and sad. And yes, I forgot to take my medication, but thats what led me to thinking about stopping it all together. Which would probably make me feel worse.
Please talk to someone or really think about it before you decide to not take your meds altogether.

Sedated: How Modern Capitalism Created Our Mental Health Crisis – Book Review
“In Sedated, Davies shows that the so-called mental health crisis stems from the assumption that mental illnesses arise within the ‘broken brain’ of an individual sufferer. This is the ‘biochemical model’ of mental illness. In contrast to what many of us assume, the idea that mental illnesses are caused by an imbalance of neurochemicals and can only be treated by using psychotropics like antidepressants, or mood stabilisers or antipsychotics, is a theory that has never been proven. Neither depression nor schizophrenia, neither anxiety nor bipolar disorder, have ever been observed in vivo. No one has ever been able to point to an MRI or CT scan and say, ‘Look! There it is!’
“According to Davies, this is because the biochemical model of mental illness is wrong. He argues that many diagnosed conditions (though in his book he sticks to the example of depression), are not down to malfunctioning grey matter, but are, instead, an understandable reaction to wider societal problems. In Sedated, Davies painstakingly debunks the individual, brain-based view of mental illness and explains why its apparently unquestioned acceptance by the general public as the only means of conceiving human distress should concern us. Not only does our taking this model for granted encourage the administration of potent drugs to those who don’t necessarily need them, it also results in the obfuscation of other plausible sources of hardship such as poverty, discrimination, loneliness, and environmental factors such as pollution. These are undoubtedly complex and more challenging to tackle than the comparably simple option of taking a pill every day. Pharmaceutical companies created the narrative of the broken brain to profit from them, and most governments of industrialised countries went along with it.
“This wider discussion about how business, economics, and politics shaped psychiatry and vice versa is central to the main thrust of Sedated. Through the course of the book, Davies plots developments in psychiatry against those in the UK’s social, political, and economic spheres in order to demonstrate how the neoliberal, uber self-reliant free-market nurtured by Margaret Thatcher’s government of the 1980s has shaped how we understand mental wellness and illness, as well as ourselves, right up to the present day: ‘By putting economic servitude before real individual health and flourishing, our priorities have become dramatically and dangerously misplaced, and more suffering, paradoxically, has been the unhappy result’. A key takeaway from this well-evidenced historical analysis is that the issues with our mental health system are deeply entrenched; simply throwing more money at the situation, by funding more facilities and professionals, will merely perpetuate the same ‘failing approach’.”

Officially pulling the emergency anxiety meds out of my bag for the time being. I no longer feel like I’m dying on the regular, and who knows when the next round of crazy stress related to this mess is actually going to start up. Enjoying feeling a little lighter and just breathing.

Almost throwing up from anxiety. I am on the train, going to my student exchange. I will try not to throw up since i just took half a benzo for the anxiety, and those pills are my lifesaver. Beta blocker i took earlier helps with the heart going mad with stress. If i had known how hard this was gonna be, i probably wouldn't have done it. Still 8h bus journey ahead of me. I am comforting myself than I can just collapse to bed when i get to my apartment.

Feeling a lot better. The benzo half is taking effect. Bus journey going smoothly. I feel curious and snoozy. I'm in Lapland already and it looks so beautiful here, as always.

I think it's the zoloft we're on that's causing this depression
we were put on zoloft for anxiety, but after like the first two weeks, we've been severely depressed and unmotivated, to the point it may affect our ability to graduate
does this normally happen on zoloft? what does this mean if this happens?

I've noticed a few things things since taking my anxiety meds:
Even just a little bit of caffeine makes me infinitely hungrier
I feel hungry. Like hunger physically hurts so fucking much how the fuck-
I need to eat waaaayyyy more than I thought I did. 3 meals a day with snacks, heavy on the snacks.
No wonder people get up at midnight just to eat, your body tends to scream at you when you don't,,,, and it is still so weird, and painful. How do y'all deal!
When they say anxiety makes your appetite go away, I did not realize how huge that was.
Hunger pains hurt, so much, why do they hurt so much
Even when I forgot to eat all day sometimes, my hunger pain was like half the amount that it is now and was bearable. And it only appeared when I forgot to eat all day
It is nice to be less anxious, but it is NOT nice for my body to be like, YOU'RE HUNGRY EAT NOW OR ELSE THE PAIN WILL INTENSIFY. And then it'll get mad at me when I don't eat enough. Like,,, am I just supposed to keep eating?

The Wellbutrin is working so well omg? I didn't expect it do anything (I took it years ago and it did nothing for me) but I'm in such a good mood and actually feel alive instead of constantly feeling like a dissociating corpse 🥹
