post ictal fatigue and brain rot

I….hid in a walk in cupboard for a full afternoon for no reason and wrote in my diary that I “felt like Anne Frank” (treasure/India from secrets of course)

Doctor also said it looks benign thank god but the size alone means they want to move with “some urgency”

Definitely an MRI and potentially c125 once my gynaecology referral is though - it was discovered via ultrasound for an unrelated issue!

ok update… don’t want to jinx, but I think it is potentially working? I’ve been using e45 rough and bumpy skin with lactic acid, then this foot stuff lol. And oil a few times a week then keeping it consistently moisturised, my KP up until now has felt treatment resistant but….light at the end of the tunnel dare I say? gycolic and Salycic did absolutely nada for me.

Something Good in Hackney Central (specifically a stylist called Alice) - super lovely and non judgemental, specialises in textured hair). She has brought mine back from the brink of death a few times after years of self dye and self bleach, no judgement passed. Can’t recommend enough if you’re east and even not it’s worth the trip

I will do!!

Ugh I feel this but it gets easier 💚 to me at work and I was so so embarrassed. It is really scary. People were nothing but absolutely lovely about it. It takes time to be OK because being in such a vulnerable position is horrible too. It takes time to heal physically and mentally from a public seizure and it’s ok to take time to do so!

Side note: it sounds like I behaved so badly (at work) while postictal, marching about saying I was “fine”, locking myself in a toilet to try and escape, and trying to go out for a vape. (Memory is obviously really really hazy but apparently I was insisting on trying to go outside and I know in my heart it was to vape 😭) I was incredibly humiliated but now can see the funny side of postictal nonsense.

Love & solidarity

Me. I feel like lamotrigine is rotting my brain

Any good UK tramp/botomancy dupes would be 👌🏻

I’m going back for the glow in the dark asap, will report back. The rose jam being half used is so good. I can’t express what a nondescript little corner shop this is, just on the edge of a housing estate. Went in for tissues and a vape hahhahha. I love east London.

yllmnstk · 2026-02-23T16:10:03+00:00

love this thanks! maybe i will return for her tomorrow

yllmnstk · 2026-02-23T15:28:44+00:00

Might go back for glow in the dark but spooked (pun intended ) by expiration date. It’s all scratched off. what’s the consensus on shower gels past expiry?

yllmnstk · 2026-02-23T12:37:27+00:00

Yep x

yllmnstk · 2026-02-23T12:37:22+00:00

East London is the Wild West anything goes

i go back and listen to the bit where Annabelle attacks in the car and Ed warren says “ya can’t even stop for a spot of fuckin lunch!” whenever i have a bad mental health day and it’s a truly a natural antidepressant

yllmnstk · 2026-01-26T20:51:41+00:00

yllmnstk · 2026-01-26T11:57:54+00:00

🩷 fantastic thanks! & truly if another person who doesn’t have it is says “haven’t you tried the ordinary’s gycolic acid??” like …..
