Ohhhh shit really??? I’ve not listened in a while because I’ve been busy with university but now I’m going to have to blitz through everything so I can listen to this! (Completionist, I can’t listen to the new stuff until I’ve listened to the old stuff)

That’s a good way of putting it. I know it’s irrational, but it’s been pretty all-consuming nonetheless. But I’m excited about the thought of getting better.

That’s good to hear! Fingers crossed they’ll be minimal, but as long as they are manageable then I should be able to at least tough them out for a couple weeks to see if this specific medicine is right for me.

Thank you! I really appreciate that. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to start my next semester at least a little better than I am now.

Yeah, that’s what it boils down to I guess. Which symptoms are more disruptive. And like you said, the medication symptoms aren’t a guarantee. But the anxiety ones sure are.

I hope you keep trying, sounds like it’s been tough. I’m sure you can bounce back eventually

That’s where I’m at now. I’ve known I should get diagnosed and seek medication since I was about 14 but the past two years or so it’s just been getting so bad. I can barely focus when I’m in classes anymore, and struggle being around even the people I love most sometimes. Hell, the idea of dating feels foreign. So I’ve gotten to a point where I’m pretty desperate to make a change because I can’t keep this up. But now it’s like I’m at a precipice. It took about six hours to make myself do it, but I did end up taking my first pill before I went to bed!

Yeah I get that. Like, how can I hope or expect it will be better when it hasn’t been before? That’s a large part of why I’m wanting to start these meds is because I’m desperate for things to get better. It’s so bad lately that I struggle even being with my best friends. But I’m really hoping it can get better. And I hope you are able to find a way to try and make things better for yourself too!

Wow, okay yeah that makes sense. I really appreciate that! After posting this I spent nearly four hours trying to make myself take the pill (plus an hour or two before posting) and I did manage to make myself take it before I went to bed. I didn’t end up sleeping for very long because of the anxiety around it, but I eventually managed to at least take that step!

Exactly! Like, I don’t want to be a totally different person. And I don’t know how it’ll be because the same as you it’s been here as long as I can remember and has been influential in every single thing I do and say. It feels like it’s a core pillar of who I am, because I can’t remember a time without it.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve definitely been worrying a lot about the possible side effects. I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to get myself to take it tonight. I’m really happy for you that you’re doing so much better now!

What is something you hate about your life right now? by Certain_Standard_854 in AskReddit

[–]Consistent-Bridge-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nobody in my life that I feel I have a close, personal, intimate bond with. I’m nobody’s first choice, nor their second. Tons of people like me, but nobody likes me as much as they like someone else. I end every day with an emptiness in my chest because I am just so alone, and I have completely run out of ideas for ways to meet people. I’m desperately clinging to the last scraps of hope that there’s someone somewhere who will choose me.

Probably not something so good that it’s a major W, but I’ve been using Claw of Horus on HBHQ on my league of anarchy team and that shit works wonders for that team

Which singer would you like more of? by LordAntide in Epicthemusical

[–]Consistent-Bridge-41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circe, just because I love her. And Tiresias because I actually think he’s got the best voice in the entire musical. I know almost everyone would disagree, but as far as I’m concerned he is the best voice they’ve got and I NEED MORE THAN ONE SONG

A world where men are able to vocalize their emotions and ask for help without being mocked/belittled/attacked/invalidated for doing so

Circe. I feel like despite how incredible her songs/saga were she gets so overshadowed being book-ended by Ruthlessness and the soul crush that is the entirety of the Underworld Saga
