What happened?

Writer: Amanda RiddellAmanda Riddell

I went off my meds for 2 days; it really wasn't intentional. I intended to grab my pills, but then I couldn't face bussing into town, which I find somewhat triggering. Then I discovered that I wasn't able to get a second emergency prescription from the same pharmacy, and wasn't able to think of going to yet another pharmacy (which, in hindsight, was a possible solution). So Monday-Tuesday, I was slightly off, but I managed to sleep alright on Monday. I kept taking my Lithium, so it's only the Quetiapine which I occasionally run out of due to technical things like this. As rants go, I felt this was pretty solid, so it's more like 'that was a bit odd, but I mostly agree with what I said, and I generally prefer not feeling suicidal' - I'd say the Quetiapine is what keeps those suicidal thoughts at a lower buzz, while weed and CBD is more useful for physical anxieties and body problems. - That survival brain which kicks in when I'm feeling suicidal is seriously useful though, so that's probably why I decided to see what would happen if I was to wait until Thursday (which was my plan) until taking my Quetiapine... Compared to 2020, this was much easier and my Mum talked me out of paying off my student loans. I'm planning to do that, though, so I'll figure out how to talk her around to my position... if I had 2 years worth of plans for my trip, then she'd probably see why I'm considering how to minimise the interest. 👍

For Golriz

The best voices communicate a way of being; a subtle force, echoes of past and present. The last ebbing tones in a DEI suicide note: why...

See, it pays to have powerful friends. But yeah, Golriz is controversial. A lot of people are looking at me differently since we became...

Quick thought about my party: I think I'm probably a few ideas short of a true policy platform, but that's something I can shore up over the next few years.
