I open a comm to post, and I forget what fucking comm I'm in and have to double check so I know what to look for - sometimes two or three times. Immensely irritating. This is how I've operated most of my life, but it's especially frustrating now that I know it's not how it has to fucking be. Flowers for Algernon over here.

Fucking American healthcare. "At least we're not Canada, you might have to wait for important care!" The fuck am I doing right now, then?

The first few days after stopping meds will be the worst as your body adjusts. Things will get better gradually.

It won't be as good as when you're taking the medication, but things won't stay this bad forever.

Coffee and other similar stimulants can help make the wait a little more bearable.
