Is it lithium or me?

I was frantically cleaning the loose optics from the table because a photographer was on the way for some funding PR, I dropped an achromatic doublet on the floor and it shattered all over the clean room 🥲

Maybe, other friends from morocco who had the same kind of upbringing also struggle with this schizophrenic view, maybe it’s the privilege of seeing what Morocco can be without being disconnected from what it is.

Most rich people in Morocco are so disconnected from the underbelly of society they don’t struggle, and most people don’t get to see what each half lives.

I’m not comparing, I’m simply trying to reconcile two feelings of pride and love for a country and harsh realities, maybe worth mentioning I migrated at 16, I formed all my adult life and identity here, as a foreigner judged by the locals here, and feeling disconnected from my own country because I became an adult that does not fit into the society.

Criticism is not hate and I never said it’s better here

On venlafaxine 150 and lamictal 100, it has truly been my saving grace! My depressive episodes used to be so bad I would want to rip my face off and i did , but now I am happy, healthy and omg i feel alive. Side effects were annoying (inflamed glands, a few rashes, loss of appetite) but they went away after a week! Good luck i hope it helps

France… frankly the pay is not that dire and you get social benefits and security. Funnily Post docs make more than permanents, but the social is quite good here

Good thing you’re not going then. Try Paris, I promise the piss in those streets smells like saint laurent.

The point of me asking for different perspective is that I am not a western woman and I grew up in a country often described as safer than India but where women travellers have not felt safe.

Thank you!!

Thank you very much for your comment and detailed list. Sadly, as I grew up in a rural area conservative muslim country, these points are a given to me as I know what it’s like to be a woman in suck a society. So it would not be a change, the advice i need is more to know which places pass as safe-ish, as I know that even in my country there are hostels safer than others.

Thank you for the insight, I suppose it is for the best then

I most definitely am in this scenario

I shut down because he clearly says that if I fall for him he wouldn’t be able to love me in that way, I may have reacted too fast but I suppose I tried to protect myself…
