That’s incredible! I haven’t seem that game in forever. You’re also super cute. If that other photo doesn’t show up, I’m sure that one will be a great substitute.

FFS.
I just brought Mr. Pepper the Yorkshire Terrier home from collarless tagless Street wandering for the THIRD TIME this spring.
He “belongs” to a nine year old so consequently is cared for at the level you’d expect a nine year old to maintain. Her teenage brother is always the one I’m returning Mr. Pepper to.

Yep. And then teenager hormones and it all went to hell.

Aw. I know that feeling, but it’s not so.

This looks normal to me. Sometimes you get green and yellow and purple on the way to healing. Hope you get better soon!

I made a super yummy dinner for tonight, and was excited to sit on my porch and drink a margarita and enjoy the evening, and instead I am super lonely and really missing my friends which is ruining my whole “enjoy the evening” plan. I’m sure I will make friends here eventually, but right now it seems impossible!

I wish someone would make the decision for me about whether I should stay on my meds or not. I keep deciding and then changing my mind.
Without them, I have crippling anxiety often, have 2 or 3 sleepless nights a week, and occasionally go through periods of depression, but at least half the time feel joyful and excited about the future, have low to average energy, and manage to accomplish things most of the time.
With them, I have almost zero anxiety and never have trouble sleeping, but I’m not joyful or interested in much of anything, and I feel mostly numb but occasionally sad. I’m also a useless slug with no energy.
Why can’t they invent a better option?

Is there a happy medium with a lower dose?

I think it’s the SNRI that’s the problem. I think I’m taking the smallest dose of the one I’m on, but I’ve tried a lot of them and they always do this, or worse. Ambien works for sleep unless I am acutely anxious about something, and then clonazepam helps. The problem is that if I take clonazepam for more than a few weeks, I build up a tolerance and it stops working well. So doctors always want to treat the underlying anxiety with a long-term med like an SSRI or SNRI, and then a couple of months in, I end up where I am now. I think I tried the first one in 2001. It seems like an unsolvable problem.
It doesn’t feel great to be at one extreme or the other. I kind of wonder if I should just ask other people in my life which way I am less annoying. On the other hand…we’re in the middle of a pandemic and my finances are wrecked because of the economy and suddenly not getting alimony, and I’m not the least bit anxious. Maybe this is not the moment to be my natural self.

I have similar issues with meds, and can’t seem to find a solution. There is no magic cure. I very much wish there was, for both of us.

I have no restraint when it comes to eating Indian food and now I have a bellyache.

Anyone else totally dreading Mother’s Day? That plus pandemic = my mom at her highest maintenance/most emotional/meanest. Ugh.

I am. My mom is also on the mean side, and is actively one of the dodos protesting my governor’s orders (online, not in person, she’s I guess not that big of a dodo).

Mother’s day is a shit show from all directions. My mum is always awful and my kids always feel like they’re letting me down and so are also awful. Fuck mother’s day.
Getting a mattress was supposed to fix my excessive pain problem. Instead I have continued to be in too much pain. Last night I woke at 3 because I hurt too much, and I’m still awake at 8. I can’t take drugs and sleep because gestures broadly

I don’t know if it helps, but my mom is not awful at all but will be inconsolably sad this Mother’s Day because we’re separated, and I can’t fix this for her.

I’m in @rural’s camp with regards to my own mom and if your’s in regard to my MIL. It’s a fraught holiday.
