Highlights from this day
- declared_value — i get anxious the night before a dose increase, so i take it in the morning now and sleep first 22:49
- food_noise_off — nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody, someone check my working 23:08
- week_three_wall — the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it 23:18
- VialBot — Batch lookup G-0641: 5 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-01-20. 23:41
- declared_value — the fraud feeling faded for me somewhere around the point i had kept it off longer than i took to lose it 23:52

the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment
somebody thanked me a year later for something i barely remember saying, and that is why i still read this every day
glad youre back
youre not a fraud
the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards
youre not alone in that
it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things
hold on if you can
it does lift
anxious every time i go up a dose, is that a known thing or just me
nobody in this room thinks less of you for needing a medication. genuinely nobody, someone check my working

genuine question people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
be kind to yourself
🙏1❤️18🎉10
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
thats grief honestly
im at month 2 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing
mood dipped hard around week 32, did that lift for anyone
not the easy way

if you are struggling in a way this channel cannot hold, please talk to a professional. we are not a crisis service and we know it
the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely
