Oscillation between two mind sets

@creative_writer oh hectic, yeah withdrawal is really rough. You got a pdoc appt coming up right, so you can chat about your meds and maybe do something to get back into balance?

@creative_writer yeah absolutely, I think of it as 'Coping is coping'. We just gotta remember to keep adding healthy coping tools to the toolkit to replace the unhealthy ones wherever we can. Sounds like you're doing just that!

Also this:

It's definitely tough to rely on meds, but also that's part of how far modern medicine has come, that we have successfully synthesised so many chemicals to help our brains. Like bio-hacking on a chemical level haha (sometimes it helps me to think of it like I'm in a sci-fi movie lol).

How you feeling now anyway? Settled a bit, I hope?

Exactly @creative_writer on all accounts - brains are weird, complex systems and finding balance within the context of an increasingly stressful and chaotic world is a tricky thing.

Oh I feel you! All the bright flourescent lighting, people and noises everywhere, such an intense impact on the senses. I don't know how people go shopping without noise cancelling headphones! It's the only way I can get groceries haha.

Aww I'm glad to hear it, always good to have this space where we can be ourselves and connect with others. I'll be off in the next halfa or so, so should start sending my lil goodnight messages now methinks. I hope tomorrow is easier on you darlin, and we will have more chats next week I'd wager!

I'm also gonna make a thread, if not tonight then during the week, for talking about sexuality and stuff - I can tag you if you like 💜
