pretty bad actually. in summary, i got in an accident on my bicycle and while i was recuperating i relapsed. i have been off my meds and out of school for over a month now. i was supposed to start summer school this month, nope. i need to file a claim with the at-fault party's insurance, nope. go to the gym, cook good healthy food, and save a bunch of money? no fuck you sit at home in a vegetative isolation and order food 2-3x /day. cant seem to bring myself to take my pills and when i do they dont seem to snap me out of it, ig the weed is just that much stronger than the lithium. between going from the bicycle to sedentation and the huge excess of basically fast food ive put on something like 15 lbs. its not good at all and im struggling to find a way to care in the worst way possible. total executive dysfunction. im pretty fukt up rn, fr fr, no cap.
oh no!! I’ve never had lithium, when I was in the hospital the first time another patient was on it and she slept almost 24/7! It was scary. I’ve had that slump you are in before. I’m still working on my tax filing from three years ago. 🙃 I also hate to cook, and I try to buy a premade salad for myself and my teenage minion for ONE healthy meal a week (and low cost!). Next semester we might bump that up to two. Maybe that can be a start for you too?
