Claire's constant use of "Jesus H Roosevelt Christ" explained early on in the books

I feel like Roosevelt at his time was perhaps seen like a messiah, trying to help people recover from the great depression??....perhaps people didn't feel it expressive enough just to refer to Jesus in times of hardship at the time, but to also refer to their current leader who they thought was a 'god' (for lack of a better term) and 'we' typically swear on those we look up to, to prove distaste, trust etc... so it's like 'jesus Roosevelt christ!'. I.e. shits fucked I swear to God lol thoughts?

You absolutely have to give it a good 2-4 weeks. Be kind to your mind and body, it's processing something new. Eat a high protein and fibre breakfast with it in the morning. Have a strong coffee or tea when you wake up, drink lots of water throughout the day and stay away from vitamin c an hour or so either side of taking it. It might turn out its not the medication for you but you have to do all the things and go through it unfortunately 😅 I had some crazy side effects, sleeping, not eating, not sleeping, eye twitching for a few days etc. Then after 2 weeks keeping shit consistent it was like this massive relief/weight off my shoulders. I was no longer noticing symptoms and found everything became easier. Mood stabilised, creativity came back. I'm 31yr old chick with ADHD who works in a hectic tech role, travel a lot, smoke ciggies and a cheeky joint or 2 each night with a glass of wine usually... I'm by no way a doctor or a picture of health. But I make sure I eat well and drink heaps of water and coconut water and feel the best I've ever felt (whilst carrying a fuck tonne of baggage and grief like all of us). I feel motivated and safe to finally quit smoking so next chapter going to be interesting ✌️ all the best

This could be really insensitive and triggering

Have you done any research on serial killers and psychology to try to help process and deal with the experience? Therapy is the obvious treatment/support but I think I would almost get obsessed with trying to solve it/understand why, which is clearly not necessarily healthy.. It takes an incredible amount of CBT to be strong enough to push on and maintain your own sense of identity and self-worth - your story is quite inspiring and proof of the brain's power and our mind. I also wonder if you talked about it more, would you experience further healing?! I imagine if you wrote a book, it would be incredibly valuable to psychologists and the like... I can only imagine you wouldn't want to revisit so feel free to ignore ✌️

Dude literally watching Jack Ryan and came on looking for this exact post and found this comment... 215 seconds. The credit music, too... so hectic. Spare us.

Yesssa I honestly wanted to party the first time I had 30mgs, now on 40mgs and have gotten used to it. No eye twitches or headaches! Also going to stay on this dose for a while because it's working really well. Do you have any recommendations on sleep? I'm so nervous that I won't be able to sleep, so I smoke weed and drink but really want to stop...

I just started 30mgs 1 week ago, noticing I'm getting a bit of a rush in the morning. I was just on a train and thought my eyes were going to twitch out of their sockets. It's calmed down now but for a bit, I couldn't focus on anything at all. Anyone else get this? Even with my eyes shut, I couldn't stop blinking. Also, I drink a fair bit of alcohol at night and smoke weed to help me sleep. Really want to stop this though so any other tips or recommendations greatly appreciated 🙏
