Still seeing your psychiatrist?
Yeah! In fact, we've been spending the last half year or so slowly lowering my medication dosage.
We're just checking whether it's still therapeutically useful, since I've been taking it for a while.
Oh cool, and how have you been feeling?
I'm ok!
I mean, it's been a challenging few weeks.
I'm incredibly discouraged by what's been happening in our local politics, let alone globally. I'm more worried about the future than I have ever been before.
And I guess I haven't been sleeping very well. And I've been drinking a lot more than I had this time last year, but I'm just stressed out.
And it's been hard to get motivated to do things I care about, and I can feel myself being less kind and patient with myself and others, which isn't good for anyone...
...and things just feel really slow and grey...
....
aww fuck.
