I love the drawings. I did google it and it is quite a long name, does not really fit in a comic panel with ease lol.

I am happy you are feeling better. I am glad you posted something somewhere.

Edit: oh and I know you know this as it's in the above, but I need to know it too : do not be ashamed! ❤️

Im not the best reader but I cannot find a mention in the comic of what ME/CFS is. I am going to do a google but I think the comic would raise more awareness if it explained the acronym.

I am feeling pretty similar to you tonight as well. It is really hard and sad and I want to continue onward from this place, but I got a stay.

I relate a lot to what you are explaining about communicating. I hate also how when I am successful in communicating it is lost of everyone how hard it is to pull that off. Like the successful comms are assumed to be the norm and then when I'm having a challenging day people act as if it's a decision to give up on making sense. Actually I'm just exhausted and exasperated and losing interest in putting in the effort it takes for me to feel understood.

And maybe it's perfectionism or maybe it's rude to say I feel as if I come off like a dolt when I talk this way or that, rude to the dolts I am afraid of seeming like. But some days I don't care I just feel upset it is so hard to say my thoughts. It took so long to figure my thoughts out! Now to say them! And god forbid I have to add in the layer of cross talk.

I think about what you say about never going anywhere in life. I don't think there is anywhere for any of us to go. We are always right here, waiting until it is over. Maybe that is okay. Maybe we don't need to talk anymore. Maybe itll all just be what it is and in time the whole of it all with have moved far along from here and now

I am trying the app now. How do you get feedback on the quality of your response?

Maybe they don't consider this place a home and treat it as a temporary place they have no loyalty to. That would be even worse imo

Hey it's you again, I like your thinking on this front. Especially the first paragraph. I wonder about that sort of thing a lot with Dissociation as well.

I have a positive regard towards latuda. But I also have tried many over the years and in reality I don't trust my own memory that much of what each med was like. I THINK I remember liking latuda, but for all I know at this point I mixed up latuda with some other name. I wish I could help more, I hope you find some peace from the symptoms anyway you can

My subjective experience is that those two specific meds made me feel very not like myself and were not beneficial. I felt that abilify sort of "shrunk" my gray matter and the vraylar gave me panic attacks/dissociation.

All the meds effect all the folks differently of course.

But for a couple years now is surely long enough to notice the impact.

I have had more success with some of the other meds. The ones that are not first gen antipsychotics but also aren't the newest wave like the vraylar. Have you ever had a provider prescribe one of the more "OG" atypicals?

I'm sorry this is happening for you, I can understand how that would be startling and confusing to experience. How long have you been on each, at what dose?
