  • I saw my psychiatrist this afternoon and told her I wanted to wean off SSRIs and benzos. I talked about the cognitive issues and said I was tired of feeling like I’m halfway through Alzheimer’s. I also mentioned that Reddit thread where I read about other people’s experiences with sertraline.…

  • I’ve gotten a couple emails from the vet clinic. Oscar is doing fantastic!! He’s responding drastically to the insulin, a lot of his energy and desire to cuddle, as well as annoying the ever loving shit outta me while I’m trying to get to sleep has come back. He’s also…

  • I’m going to try getting off SSRIs. I have finally gotten the courage to do some reading about the long term effects, and ho-lee shit. I read other people’s experiences on a subreddit for depression meds. It sounds about the same as what I’m going through. It gives me a…

  • I’m not very close to any of my extended family, or any of my cousins. It makes me particularly sad about a specific cousins kids who are all grown now. I was there when two of them were born, and I actually was very close to the oldest when she…

  • Wow, Bibles are quite expensive, at least at Barnes & Noble. I wanted a Catholic study Bible but it was $60. I have tried to read the KJV a loooooooong time ago, but I understood nothing, because it’s written in 17th century English. It was like trying to read Greek!…
